THE WOLF AND THE LAMB

Some sheep were grazing near a forest. A lamb wandered away from the flock.
The mother sheep said to her lamb: - Don't go far, my child. I'm afraid you'll get into trouble.
A wolf was hiding behind a bush.
- Don't listen to your mother! She is already old. She is too lazy to walk and doesn't let you run about. Go to the field and run about as much as you like, - the wolf said to the lamb.
The lamb followed the wolfs advice and ran to the field. That was what the wolf wanted. He rushed at the lamb and carried it off to'the forest. The lamb began to cry, but it was too late.
