THE YOUNG GOAT AND THE WOLF A young goat, returning without protection from the pasture, was pursued by a wolf. Seeing he could not escape, he turned round, and said: "I know, friend wolf, that I must be your prey, but before I die I would ask of you one favor you will play me a tune to which I may dance." The wolf complied, and while he was piping and the goat was dancing, some hounds hearing the sound ran up and began chasing the wolf. Turning to the goat, he said, "It is just what I deserve; for I, who am only a butcher, should not have turned piper to please you." ~ In time of dire need, clever thinking is key or Outwit your enemy to save your skin ~
