The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing


A WOLF found great difficulty in getting at the sheep owing to the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. But one day it found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed and thrown aside, so it put it on over its own pelt and strolled down among the sheep. The Lamb that belonged to the sheep, whose skin the Wolf was wearing, began to follow the Wolf in the Sheep’s clothing; so, leading the Lamb a little apart, he soon made a meal off her, and for some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.
“APPEARANCES ARE DECEPTIVE.”

The wolf analogy tells the truth of the Totalitarian Left - safely. . .I used to think of Little Red Riding Hood. a great deal. . . 'Grandmother. . .what big ears you have. . .what a big nose. . .and finally; 'wha a big mouth'. . . 'Grandmother's response. . .'all the better to eat you, my dear'

Whether 'Grandmother's nightgown; or 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. . .these stories speak well to the core truth of the totalaitarian Left. . .

If we cannot learn by the 'big picture'; you would think; at the least; these tales would resonate at a personal level. . .and perhaps more do; than not.
