The Wolf and the Shepherd.

A Wolf followed a flock of sheep for a long time, and did not attempt toinjure one of them. The Shepherd at first stood on his guard againsthim, as against an enemy, and kept a strict watch over his movements.But when the Wolf, day after day, kept in the company of the sheep, anddid not make the slightest effort to seize them, the Shepherd began tolook upon him as a guardian of his flock rather than as a plotter ofevil against it; and when occasion called him one day into the city, heleft the sheep entirely in his charge. The Wolf, now that he had theopportunity, fell upon the sheep, and destroyed the greater part of theflock. The Shepherd, on his return, finding his flock destroyed,exclaimed: "I have been rightly served; why did I trust my sheep to aWolf?"

An evil mind will show in evil action, sooner or later.
