A Wolf and A Sow

Once upon a time, there was a Sow who had just given birth to a large litter of piglets. They lay close to their mother in the safety of the sty, enjoying her warmth and protection. Not too far away, a Wolf watched them with eager eyes. She craved a small piglet but had no idea how to get one.

After some thought, the Wolf decided to pretend to be friendly and concerned about the Sow's wellbeing. She approached the sty and with a sweet smile, she called out, "Good day, dear Sow. I see you've been busy with your new little ones. You must be tired. Why not take a short break? Some fresh air would surely do you some good."

The Wolf then added, "And don't you worry about your piglets. I'd be more than happy to watch over them while you're out and about. You need some rest, and I assure you, they will be in safe paws."

The Sow looked up at the Wolf with a knowing gaze. She was not fooled by the Wolf's sugary words. She knew very well the Wolf's true nature and what would happen to her little ones if she left them in her care. So, she replied, "Thank you very much for your kind offer, but I am quite content here with my little ones. If you really wanted to do me a favor, you would stay away from us."

And so, the Wolf had to slink away, her cunning plan foiled by the wise Sow. The piglets continued to play around their mother, safe and sound in the sty.
