The Shepherd and the Dog
The Shepherd and the Dog (George Fyler Townsend's Version)
A Shepherd penning his sheep in the fold for the night was about to shut up a wolf with them, when his Dog perceiving the wolf said, “Master, how can you expect the sheep to be safe if you admit a wolf into the fold?”
