The Wolf and the Lamb

  A LAMB, pursued by a Wolf, fled into the temple.

  "The priest will catch you and sacrifice you," said the Wolf, "if
you remain there."

  "It is just as well to be sacrificed by the priest as to be eaten
by you," said the Lamb.

  "My friend," said the Wolf, "it pains me to see you considering so
great a question from a purely¹ selfish point of view.  It is not
just as well for me."
