They will come and try to make love to me, but I shall very quickly send them about their business! A Sheep passed by near his hiding place, and the Wolf called to him. He doubled on his tracks, he ran at top speed, he entered a dozen burrows, but all in vain. So the Fox led the Ass into a deep pit. Your majesty, said the Fox, you are too good. To tell the truth, I even ate up a shepherd now and then. Don't talk to me about a drink!
Acquaintance with evil blinds us to its dangers.
