A lamb, grazing away from her flock, was caught by a wolf. The lamb, quick-witted, pleaded with the wolf to wait as her grass-filled stomach would make her tastier later. The wolf, agreeing, waited while the lamb suggested a dance to speed up digestion. Then, the lamb convinced the wolf to take her bell, believing it would help her dance faster. The wolf, ringing the bell loudly, alerted the shepherd who sent his dogs to save the lamb. The story highlights how even the gentle and weak can outsmart the fierce and strong through cleverness.

The Wolf and the Lamb
A lamb was grazing with a flock of sheep one day.
She soon found some sweet grass at the edge of the
field. Farther and farther she went, away from the
others.
She was enjoying herself so much that she did not
notice a wolf coming nearer to her. However, when it
pounced on her, she was quick to start pleading,
“Please, please don’t eat me yet. My stomach is full
of grass. If you wait a while, I will taste much
better.”
The wolf thought that was a good idea, so he sat
down and waited. After a while, the lamb said, “If
you allow me to dance, the grass in my stomach will
be digested faster.” Again the wolf agreed.
While the lamb was dancing, she had a new idea.
She said, “Please take the bell from around my neck.
If you ring it as hard as you can, I will be able to
dance even faster.”
The wolf took the bell and rang it as hard as he could. The shepherd heard the bell ringing
nd quickly sent his dogs to find the missing lamb. The barking dogs frightened the wolf
away and saved the lamb’s life.
The gentle and weak can sometimes be cleverer than fierce and strong.
