A lamb was grazing with a flock of sheep one day. She
soon found some sweet grass at the edge of the field. Farther and farther she
went, away from the others.
She was enjoying herself so much that she did not notice
a wolf coming nearer to her. However,
when it pounced on her, she was quick to start pleading, “Please, please don’t
eat me yet. My stomach is full of grass. If you wait a while, I will taste much better.”
The wolf thought that was a good idea, so he sat down and
waited. After a while, the lamb said, “If you allow me to dance, the grass in
my stomach will be digested faster.” Again the wolf agreed.
While
the lamb was dancing, she had a new idea. She
said,
“Please take the bell from around my neck. If you ring it
as hard as you can, I will be able to dance even faster.”
The wolf took the bell and rang it as hard as
he could. The shepherd heard the bell ringing and quickly sent his dogs to find
the missing lamb. The barking dogs frightened the wolf away and saved the
lamb’s life.
