A WOLF, having stolen a lamb from a fold, was carrying him off to
his lair1. A Lion met him in the path, and seizing the lamb, took
it from him. Standing2 at a safe distance, the Wolf exclaimed,
"You have unrighteously taken that which was mine from me!" To
which the Lion jeeringly3 replied, "It was righteously yours, eh?
The gift of a friend?'
