Wolf And The Lamb

In a forest a deer was grazing along with her babies. Suddenly she saw a wolf coming towards them. The deer thought of how to save her babies from the wolf and face danger. So she turned towards the wolf and politely wished, good morning.

The wolf replied good morning looking rather puzzled. The deer always run away when they see him. He asked, "are you not frightened of me ?". The deer replied, "not at all, because i know that you are brave. You do not attack anyone unless they quarrel with you".

The wolf said, "you are absolutely right. I am a very peaceful animal and it went into the forest. Suddenly the wolf saw a lamb drinking water down the stream. He felt very happy. Said to himself, "oh! i have go my dinner".

Suddenly he remembered the deer's words. He searched for and excuse to attack the lamb. He told the lamb, "oh! wicked one! why are you making the water muddy which i am drinking ?"

The lamb politely replied, "Sir, i am drinking water in the down stream. How can i make your water muddy ? water never flows up". For a moment the wolf did not find any answer. He was determined to quarrel with the lamb. Finally the wolf said, "Six months ago you had called my name".

The lam replied, "Sorry sir, you are mistaken. I was not even born six months ago". The wolf realized that the lamb was right. He went away to the forest without causing any harm to the lamb.

While returning to the forest the wolf thought to himself, "My brother wolf never talked to its victim, but the deer tricked me to save her life". So, he hurriedly came back to the stream. But he found that the lamb had already dissappeared.
