A
farable of Jesop.
“the lamb lies down
with the wolf”
A wolf and a lamb set out on a journey, taking turns riding
on each other’s back because it was cold and that way they could keep each
other warm. As day dusked, the lamb grazed while the wolf built a fire. Night fallen, they huddled together next to it.
The lamb fell almost immediately asleep, but the wolf lay quite awake, tending the fire.
