The Wolf and the Lion
A WOLF, having stolen a lamb from a fold, was carrying him off to his lair.
A Lion met him in the path, and seizing the lamb, took it from him.
Standing at a safe distance, the Wolf exclaimed, "You have unrighteously taken that which was mine from me!"
To which the Lion jeeringly replied, "It was righteously yours, eh? The gift of a friend?"
