Once, a clever wolf was wandering in a field where a flock of sheep used to come grazing every day. After some time, he saw that the flock had arrived, so he hid behind a bush. As soon as he got a chance, he grabbed a lamb and carried it away to eat at a safe place. Unfortunately, a lion came there, snatched the lamb and went towards his den to eat at leisure. The lion had walked just a few steps away, when the wolf said, “This is daylight robbery, so unjust for a lion to snatch away my morsel from me. It is below his dignity!” Hearing the wolf grumble, the lion laughed and replied, “A thief is questioning a robber; how strange! Did you get this lamb as a gift from a friend? You stole it from a flock. Was that fair?” A sin is a sin, whether big or small.
A Thief Cannot Question a Robber
