The Wolf and the Lamb A young lamb was drinking peacefully from a clear stream, standing downstream. Upstream, a hungry wolf noticed him and approached with anger. The wolf said: — Why are you muddying my water? The lamb replied calmly: — How could I muddy your water when I am downstream and you are above me? The wolf paused, then said: — Then you insulted me last year. The lamb answered: — I was not even born last year. The wolf growled: — Then it must have been your father. The lamb said softly: — I do not know him. At last, the wolf said: — It does not matter. If it was not you, it was one of your kind. And with that, he attacked and devoured the lamb. ⸻ The Moral • A tyrant does not seek truth — he seeks an excuse • When power decides to oppress, logic becomes useless • Innocence does not protect the weak from the unjust • Justice is never found in the mouth of a wolf • When guilt is decided before the trial, the outcome is already written
