A Shepherd, counting his Sheep one day, discovered that a number of them were missing. But now the Wolves thought of a plan to trick the Sheep. You must come and dine with me today, he said to the Stork, smiling to himself at the trick he was going to play. So he pretended he was lame, and began to hobble painfully. For dinner the Fox served soup, But it was set out in a very shallow dish, and all the Stork could do was to wet the very tip of his bill. Look at my wings. This wheat is now ready for reaping, said the Farmer. If you drive them away, another greedy swarm will come and take the little blood I have left.
In unity is strength.
