The wolf stopped upstream, the lamb much further downstream. So that scoundrel, in his insatiable hunger, saught a pretext for a quarrel.

“Why,” said he, “are you muddying the water I’m drinking?”

Fearfully, the lamb replied: “I’m sorry, but how could I do that? I am drinking the water that has passed first by you.”

And he, defeated by that fact, said, “Six months ago, you talked about me behind my back.”

The lamb replied, “But I wasn’t even born yet!”

“By Hercules, then it was your father who spoke badly of me,” said the wolf. And he pounced on the lamb and killed it unjustly
