The Baa-Sheep and the Lion.
A baa-sheep was lying under the paw of a black-maned lion. Whatever wasgoing to be done had to be done quickly. A thought flashed upon the sheepand he said:
"Most dread lord and master, I have heard your voice extolled beyond thatof all others. Will you not sing me a little selection from Wagner before Idie?"
The lion, touched in his vanity, immediately started up and roared awayuntil the goose-flesh stood out on the rocks. When he had finished, thesheep was in tears.
