eating the lamb.
So he said to the lamb, "Sir, last year you rudely insulted me."
"I don’t think that’s possible," bleated the lamb in a sad voice, "I was not even born then."
So the wolf then said, "You eat the grass in my field."
"No, good sir," replied the lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass."
the wolf tried again. "You drink the water in my well," he growled.
"No!" exclaimed the lamb, "I never drank your water because my mother’s milk is both food anddrink to me."
Suddenly the wolf jumped on the lamb and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won’t be hungry eventhough you argue against every one of my reasons for eating you."
