Aesop's Fables, translated by Laura Gibbs (2002)371. THE DONKEY AND THE WOLVES There was a wolf who ruled over the other wolves and decreed that whatever they might catch while hunting would be kept in common and divided equally by the whole pack. A donkey who happened to be passing by remarked, 'What a fine idea from the mind of a wolf! But how is it that yesterday I ran into you and saw you hiding your quarry away in your lair?' Put to shame by the donkey, the wolf abolished the law he had made.  Source:
