One day a wolf found a sheepskin. He covered himself with the sheepskin and got into a flock of sheep grazing in a field. He thought, "The shepherd will shut the sheep in a pen after sunset. At night I will run away with a fat sheep and eat it."

All went well till the shepherd shut his sheep in the pen and left. The wolf waited patiently for the night to advance and grow darker. But then an unexpected thing happened. One of the servants of the shepherd entered the pen. His master had sent him to bring a fat sheep for supper. But alas! the servant picked up the wolf dressed in the sheepskin.

That night the shepherd and his guests had the wolf for supper.
