A Wolf was drinking at the head of a river when he saw a
Lamb at a small distance downstream. Having decided to eat her, he needed to
cause a quarrel.
"How dare you spoil my water?", he demanded.
"How can I spoil the water, since it goes from you to me, not me to
you?", asked the Lamb.
"Never mind that", said the Wolf, "a year ago you called me
many bad names!"
"A year ago I was not even born yet!", said the trembling Lamb.
"Well’, replied the Wolf, "if it wasn’t you, it was your father.
It’s no use trying to talk me out of my supper"; and he grabbed upon the
helpless Lamb and ate her.
Moral of the story: The tyrant always finds an excuse to injure the
innocent.
I think that
you can change a tyrant from being angry.

P.S. All of the fables that I’ve read to my girls so far have resulted in some very interesting discussions. I’m SO glad I picked the book up for 2.99!
