Pigs, Wolves & Sheep

"Must we care for the sheep? Our jaws slobber

at the thought of our teeth biting into their soft

flesh." said the Alpha Wolf.


The porcine figure reared back onto his hind legs

and approached the lectern at the gathered body

of Pigs and Wolves.


"My canine brothers, you must be patient. You crave

their flesh for feasting, we crave their wool to keep

ourselves warm in the winter.


We can find a way to meet both of our needs. We must

work together to keep them grazing in the pastures

unaware of our plans."


A lesser wolf spoke up from the ranks, "What if they

found out of our plans? What would we do?" With

a heart beaten pause the hall erupted in laughter.


"Brother wolf, they will never know. As long as we

keep them grazing in the fields they will be none

the wiser. You shall all feast heartily and we shall


stay warm in the winter. It will be as we have planned.

It will be as our kind have always done." They nodded

in agreement as the sheep lay unaware.
