　The wolf said to the dog.

“You look very similar to us, but why are we not getting along like brothers?

　In truth, we are not different at all.

　The only thing different is the way we think.

　We, wolves live freely.

　However, you are tamed by humans, living like slaves.

　Even though you get hit by humans, you endure it and look after their flocks of sheep while having a collar on your neck.

　Furthermore, your masters eat better food and just give you the bones.

　So, why don’t you trust us and give us the sheep.

　Let’s eat them all together.”

　The dogs agreed with the wolf’s every word.

　However, when the wolves entered the cellar where the dogs and the sheep stayed, they ate the dogs first.



　If you betray your friend, you will end up like these dogs.

The end
