Aesop’s Fables, THE WOLVES, THE SHEEP, AND THE RAM

THE WOLVES, THE SHEEP, AND THE RAM

The Wolves sent a deputation to the Sheep with proposals for a lasting peace between them, on condition of their giving up the sheep-dogs to instant death.

Why, even with the dogs at hand to protect us, we are never secure from your murderous attacks!"
