Wolf and the shepherd

(Aesop’s Fables)

Translation　ちいさな翻訳屋さん

Japanese ・ English ・ Chinese

Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese

　A shepherd boy found baby wolves and he took care of them.

“If I raise these wolves, they will shepherd a flock when they grow up.

　Or more than that, they may take sheep from other farms.”

　That was the reason he raised the wolves.

　However, when the wolves grew up,

　they attacked the boy’s sheep when they found a chance.

　The boy groaned out seeing his sheep killed by the wolves hideously.

“Oh my goodness.

　I was stupid enough to save the wolves

　even though they were children.”



　Saving the bad one means

　it is the same as that we help them to raise their power so that they can attack us first.

The end
