"WHY SHOULD there always be this fear and slaughter¹ between us?"
said the Wolves to the Sheep.  "Those evil-disposed Dogs have
much to answer for.  They always bark whenever we approach you
and attack us before we have done any harm.  If you would only
dismiss them from your heels, there might soon be treaties of
peace and reconciliation² between us."  The Sheep, poor silly
creatures, were easily beguiled³ and dismissed the Dogs, whereupon
the Wolves destroyed the unguarded flock at their own pleasure.
