Familiarity and contempt - A tale of the Sheep and the Wolf




Long, long ago animals feared the sheep. With its woolly body, it appeared fearsome. And, of course, the sheep cultivated this image.

Obviously, this kind of image was terribly advantageous.

None of the animals had seen the teeth of the sheep, and the sheep successfully continued to conceal them. Finally, the wolf could not take it any longer, and devised a clever plan. The wolf organised a party for all the animals and served alcohol. The wolf made sure the sheep had had enough to drink, and started telling jokes.

All the animals began laughing, including the sheep. Of course, in laughing the sheep exposed very small teeth that are only suitable for grazing on grass and greenery, and not for biting or fighting fiercely.

The wolf immediately pounced, and from that day no other animal feared the sheep.
