| The strongest is always right. |
| We will prove it shortly |
| A Lamb was quenching it's thirst |
| In a clear stream; |
| A starving Wolf suddently appears, looking for a meal, |
| Brought here by hunger. |
| "How dare you foul my water hole? |
| Said the Wolf full of righteous fury: |
| -You will be chastised for you temerity. |
| -Sire, replies the Lamb, Your Majesty |
| Need not be angry; |
| But rather consider |
| That I am drinking |
| More than twenty feet |
| Downstream from him; |
| Therefore in no way |
| Could I spoil his water. |
| -Oh, yes you do, growled the cruel beast; |
| And I heard that you spoke ill of me last year. |
| -How could I, if I were not yet born? |
| The Lamb persisted, I am still nursing. |
| If it were not you, then it must have been your brother. |
| -I don't have any. -Then it was one of your lot; |
| Because you are always pestering me, |
| You, your shepherds and your dogs. |
| So I have been told: I must avenge myself." |
| With that, deep in the forest, |
| The Wolf carried off the Lamb, and ate it, |
| Without further ado. |
