A Wolf had been prowling around a flock of Sheep for a long time, and the Shepherd watched very anxiously to prevent him from carrying off a Lamb. At first the Cranes flew away in great terror. And so far was he from carrying away the Ram, that the Ram hardly noticed he was there. You should always walk straight forward with your toes turned out. No indeed, said the Heron. Then we can decide in all justice who is the most guilty. The Lion had little hope of eating them, for he was no match for three strong Bullocks with their sharp horns and hoofs. Now I promise you a full-grown Bull, if you but make the thief go away!
The smaller the mind the greater the conceit.
