The Wolf in sheep's clothing
March 17th 2007 15:57
And so Aesop said:
A Wolf found great difficulty in getting at the sheep owing to the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. But one day it found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed and thrown aside, so it put it on over its own pelt and strolled down among the sheep. The Lamb that belonged to the sheep, whose skin the Wolf was wearing, began to follow the Wolf in the Sheep's clothing; so, leading the Lamb a little apart, he soon made a meal off her, and for some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.
hehe, classic one, but good conclusion. Don't believe what your eyes see mate, we all know that appearances are quite deceptive....espetially when dealing with women in nightclubs
Anyway, isn't it a comon sense between everyone? Even between philosophers...
Small post while reading some of his fables...quite funny, but i don't agree with them sometimes. You can easily see on them the stoiciens philosophy, which is quite old by now
cheers. Uula
PS: If you want to take a look in other fables of the guy, this site has some of them.
