Wolf and the shepherd
(Aesop’s Fables)
Translation ちいさな翻訳屋さん
Japanese ・ English ・ Chinese
Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese
There was a wolf who was following the flock of sheep, but he did not attack them.
The shepherd thought the wolf as a threat, so he was timidly guarding the sheep.
However, the wolf quietly followed them
with no intension to attack the sheep.
“It seems that this wolf is good, and will not attack us,”
the shepherd thought.
When the shepherd needed to go to the town,
he left the flock with the wolf.
Then the wolf thought,
“Yes! This is my chance!”
and he attacked the flock and ate most of the sheep.
When the shepherd came back and saw his dead sheep, he screamed.
“I was a fool to have the wolf attend my sheep!”
Humans are the same.
If you leave something valuable to a greedy person’s care, they will steel it from you.
The end
