Jesop's Farables: when the lamb lay down with the wolf

 Jesop’s Farables 

“when the lamb lay down with the wolf”

A lamb fell asleep at its mother’s side, but when he awoke he found she was gone; instead, he found himself nestled next to a wolf. “Where’s my mother?” the lamb bleated, waking up the sleeping wolf. “Your mother's gone to heaven,” the wolf yawned, “where the pastures are always green.” Comforted, the little lamb rolled over and went back to sleep.
