The Clever Sheep and the Cunning Wolf
Once upon a time, a farmer and his wife had a flock of sheep. They took great care of their sheep, but unfortunately, a wolf managed to sneak into their farm and devoured all the sheep, except for one. The farmer and his wife were devastated by the loss and contemplated selling the remaining sheep. Little did they know, the lone sheep overheard their conversation and pondered its fate. It thought to itself, "I would rather live freely than be slaughtered by a butcher." Determined to escape its impending doom, the sheep devised a plan. Under the cover of darkness, the sheep quietly slipped out of the farm with the help of the guard dog. Unbeknownst to them, the cunning wolf had been observing their every move and saw an opportunity for a delicious meal. The wolf approached the sheep and slyly said, "Hey sheep! Come here and return the coat that I lent you last week." The guard dog, who was well aware of the wolf's intentions, quickly devised a counterplan. He noticed a trap set by the farmer near a tree and decided to use it to their advantage. The guard dog replied to the wolf, "We will believe you if you can touch the holy chain hanging near the tree." The wolf, driven by his hunger and desire to deceive the sheep, fell for the dog's trick. As he approached the tree, his feet got entangled in the trap, leaving him helpless until morning. When the farmer discovered the trapped wolf, he was overjoyed. He realized the value of the clever sheep and the loyal guard dog, and they were welcomed back to the farm with open arms. In conclusion, this story teaches us the importance of wit and cunning in the face of danger. The sheep's quick thinking and the guard dog's clever plan saved them from the clutches of the cunning wolf. It reminds us that intelligence and resourcefulness can triumph over even the most dangerous situations.
