Once upon a time, in a vast forest, there lived a cunning Wolf. One day, he caught a fat sheep from a nearby farm. The Wolf was very pleased and started carrying the sheep off to enjoy his feast.
As he trotted along a path, out from the thickets emerged a mighty Lion. The Lion looked at the sheep in the Wolf's grasp and then at the Wolf. In one swift move, the Lion snatched the sheep away from the Wolf.
The Wolf stood in surprise, and then in anger. He growled at the Lion, "That sheep was mine! You stole it from me!"
The Lion looked at the Wolf, his eyes full of amusement. He said, "But didn't you steal it first? You took it from the farmer, didn't you?"
The Wolf was taken aback. He couldn't argue against the Lion's words. He had been caught in his own trickery. So, the Lion walked away with the sheep, leaving the Wolf alone in the forest.
