A Wolf Turned Shepherd

Once upon a time there was a crafty wolf who dressed himself up to look like a shepherd. He had a shepherd’s crook, a shepherd’s pipe, and he even walked and sat like a shepherd. In fact, he did it so well that once, in the dead of night, he started imitating the shepherd’s voice and call as well. But this did not sound so shepherd-like. Indeed, it sounded so odd that the people round about took fright and attacked him, and he was so hampered by all his shepherd’s clothes that he could not fight, and he could not escape.

Moral: Even the cleverest disguise may be found out.
