The Wolf and the Sheep V2
One day a wolf was seen lurking near the sheep field.
Two guard dogs caught up with the wolf and asked him, "What are you doing around here?" The wolf replied, "I'm on a walk. Can't I just go on a walk?" The guard dogs let the wolf go.
The next day a lamb came running to the pen and told a sheep that a wolf had scared him near the woods. The sheep said to stay away from the woods.
The next day a sheep saw the wolf walking through the field. He ran to the guard dogs and told them. They said, "Has he done anything wrong?" "No," admitted the sheep. The guard dogs did nothing.
The next day a lamb was heard screaming. The guard dogs ran to him. The lamb was bleeding. "The wolf bit me!" he said. The guard dogs ran after the wolf. When they caught him they brought him back to the herd. A trial was held. The wolf said, "I'm sorry. It was just a mistake. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I won't do it again." The sheep who was the judge let the wolf go.
The next day some sheep found the remains of a dead sheep in the field. They told the guard dogs. The guard dogs shrugged. They told the judge. The judge said, "What a sad tragedy. If only there was a way it could have been prevented."
Moral of the story: Mercy to the wolf is death to the sheep.
