The Wolf and the Lamb! A fable.

My friends,

What can be learned from fables? Well I say that much can be learned. let us take a look at a very brief and yet easily understood fable from Aesop.

The Wolf and the Lamb

The Wolf and the Lamb. A WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf’s right to eat him. He thus addressed him: “Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me.” “Indeed,” bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, “I was not then born.” Then said the Wolf, “You feed in my pasture.” “No, good sir,” replied the Lamb, “I have not yet tasted grass.” Again said the Wolf, “You drink of my well.” “No,” exclaimed the Lamb, “I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother’s milk is both food and drink to me.” Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, “Well! I won’t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations.”  The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

Translated by George Fyler Townsend. Aesop's Fables (p. 15). Amazon Digital Services, Inc.. 

Who is the Wolf and who is the Lamb?

World governments and the people.

The false prophets and the true church.

The world political system and the true church.

The false church and the true church.

Blessings!
