English Original
The wolves sent a deputation to the sheep with proposals for a lasting peace between them, on condition of their giving up the sheepdogs to instant death. The foolish sheep agreed to the terms, but an old Ram, whose years had brought him wisdom, interfered and said, "How can we expect to live at peace with you? Why, even with the dogs at hand to protect us, we are never secure from your murderous attacks."

狼群派了一个代表团到羊群那里，提议双方缔结持久和平，条件是羊群必须立即交出牧羊犬并处死它们。愚蠢的羊群同意了这些条款，但一只年长而充满智慧的公羊出面阻止，并说道：“我们怎能指望与你们和平共处？要知道，即便有狗在身边保护我们，我们也从未能免遭你们凶残的袭击。”
