THE WOLVES thus addressed the Sheepdogs:  "Why should you, who are
like us in so many things, not be entirely¹ of one mind with us,
and live with us as brothers should? We differ from you in one
point only.  We live in freedom, but you bow down to and slave
for men, who in return for your services flog you with whips and
put collars on your necks.  They make you also guard their sheep,
and while they eat the mutton throw only the bones to you.  If
you will be persuaded by us, you will give us the sheep, and we
will enjoy them in common, till we all are surfeited²."  The Dogs
listened favorably to these proposals, and, entering the den³ of
the Wolves, they were set upon and torn to pieces.
