Once upon a time there lived a wolf in a jungle. He was a very bad wolf by his nature. He used to hunt the small animals of the jungle. He was a merciless guy.
One day he went to a stream to quench his thirst with water. While he was drinking water, he saw a lamb that was playing with water. At the sight of lamb, his mouth began to water.
He turned to the lamb and said, "How dare you make the water muddy? Can't you see that I am drinking water from the same stream?" The lamb got so much frightened that it could not speak for a while. It replied in a very low voice, "Sir, I beg your pardon. The water is running down from you to me. How can I make it muddy?"
The wolf said, "But you bleated me and called me names last year" The lamb replied, "Sir, I was not even born then. How could I abuse you last year?"
"Well then, you ate my dinner today" the wolf said next. The Lamb answered, "That is also not possible, I can only drink.
"That's it, you drank my water". The cunning wolf said". "Never, I can drink only my mother's milk". The Lamb argued.
Is that so? The wolf said. In fact, the wolf was determined to eat the poor lamb. He said to it,
"Then it must have been your father or mother or brother. You must suffer for your relatives." Saying so, the wolf caught him, tore him to pieces and ate him up.
Moral: People who want to do something bad can always find an excuse.
