The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

A Wolf found great difficulty in getting at the sheep owing to the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. But one day it found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed and thrown aside, so it put it on over its own pelt and strolled down among the sheep.

The Lamb that belonged to the sheep whose skin the Wolf was wearing began to follow the Wolf in the Sheep's clothing. So, leading the Lamb a little apart, he soon made a meal off her - and for some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.

Appearances are deceptive.

I think this sheep was too stupid to believe the wolf.Sure,he lived in safe world. but he should be more carefuly.He shuldnt had judged from only surface he could look. Danger is never disappeared around us.

I think some poeple are really well discribed like the sheep. Some of us do sometimes think looks are everything, but I say you gotta look deeper. If the sheeps would have known the little details that make us different from one another they would have known it wasnt the sheep, but something different and weird.

It is unfair on both accounts of the Lamb and Wolf. The Wolf to dress like a sheep to lure the Lamb. And the lamb was eaten because of his judgement. The Lamb should not have followed a stranger even if it was one of his kind. The intentions of anybody cannot be prejudged for any reason.

The fabule "The Wolf in Sheeps Clothing", written by Aesop, teach us how sometimes the "appearances are deceptive". That is many thing you see are not true. In life a lot of thing you see or think are not the same that you percive. For example, many people think that learning English is easy but when they study it, they understand that is not so easy.

This story describes peoples foolishness which trust others easily by their appearance. Surely, the lambs which were eaten by the wolf made a wrong judgement. They depended on their familiar surroundings too much. However, I think it is difficult to be a skeptical person if people live in a peaceful world and never know suspicion. Furthermore, I find having the doubts everything in our world a little sad.

I love this story because I can imagine this situation. (It can be happen!)We live in peaceful world, and sometimes we are careless. However, bad things always happen without warning. We must be carefull whenever wherever. Carelessness will cause horrible situation.

This story was fabulous, because in this story the animals are great example for explain why some people in his face have good intentions but when you treatment they his intentions are so diferent that what you thing.

A wolf put sheeps clothing. And then the wolf belong Lambs flock. Noboby konws that is a wolf because the wolf has same appearance to Lamb. So, the wolf could eating the lamb easily.
This sotry give to us one moral.
" Dont believe just others appearances." ^^

In my opinion this story have a good and interesting meaning.Many times we have to be careful when we meet somebody because there are a lot of people that look like good person and sometime they just want to deceive us like the wolf did.

Sometimes we open our mind very easily to person who has good appearance.
This story shows how foolish it is.
Appearance isn`t important thing to know that person. It`s just external. If the person`s internal is bad, you shouldn`t trust him, eventhough he is really handsome.
That`s difficult to see their mind and don`t care about appearance. But we should always remember.

I thought the sheep is probably trusty or stupid.I don’t think the fox could cover himself like the sheep. But the moral of the story is true. A lot of people have superficial relationship with people. Because of that people should take their time to know some one before they give themselves.

I think this is a good story. Today when everything is so complicated, many people use their good looking appearance to swindle others. And many people also are so gullible to be cheated because of her first impression. Its right that we dont have to trust our first impression. Somebody said that dont judge a book by its cover. And also carelessness will lead us to the risky situation.

Wolf in Sheeps Clothing is mainly abouthow looks can be deceiving. In the story, the wolf is trying to eat some sheep and is not that successful. So he goes and find a sheep, whos hair has been trimed.Then he put the hair on and tries to act like he is a sheep. Soon after he does that,some other sheep start to follow him and he ends up eating one of them.
I think that the story has a deeper lesson than most of the other fable stories, also I think that the wolf shouldnt have eaten the sheep. So that is why I gave the story stars.

I think this is a good fable because it shows us how people can change very faster.
Also, it shows that things arent what they seem to be.
In the other hand, its good to ilustrate that you shouldnt say and have any kind of comments or thoughts before you know better the people.
If you have an opinion, you must wait to tell everybody until you can prove it.
And finally, if you think someone or something is deceptive, you should find more information about it.

The wolf is smarter than the sheep.
The sheperd should pay more attention to sheep.
I think the lamb should smell the pelt of the sheep.
Where were the dogs at this time ?
The sheperd should give some food to the wolf.
