Retelling the wolf in sheep's clothing

Once upon a time on a cold hillside there was a shepherd who cared a lot for his flock of sheep and loved to feed them a lot. One day there was a very bad and evil wolf who loved to eat sheep for his Sunday dinner. He looked over to the flock of sheep and wondered how he would get one.

Walking near some trees he noticed that under one tree was a sheepskin. He made a plan to disguise himself and pretend to be one of the sheep. As he went to join the flock of sheep he was filled with joy. Grr grumbled his tummy. He had to get there quick.


When he joined the flock he started to eat grass and started to talk like the sheep talked. “Baa baa” he said . He waited until sunset so the shepherd could put them in the pen and he could gobble them all up one by one.

The sun started to set and the shepherd chose one of the sheep to have for his dinner. He chose the fattest which he knew would be juicy and fill his stomach. He chose Mr wolf who was disguised because he was the fattest of them all. So he took him by his hook and when he laid the sheep of the table he noticed it was a wolf. He was so terrified but still happy because it tasted fabulous and Mr wolf could not eat his sheep again.


The moral of the story is - Don’t pretend to be something or someone you are not.
