Aesop's Fables, translated by Laura Gibbs (2002)

392. THE SHEPHERDS, THE LAMB AND THE WOLF
Perry 453 (Plutarch, Banquet of the Seven Sages 13.156a)

This is one of Aesop's fables. A wolf saw some shepherds eating a lamb in their tent. He approached the shepherds and said, 'Why, what a great uproar there would be if I were to do the same thing!'
