A lamb came to drink from a cool stream. She sipped quietly at the lower end.
Upstream stood a wolf. He growled when he saw her.
“Why are you muddying my water?” he barked.
The lamb looked up. “Sir, I drink downstream. Your water flows away from you, not toward.”
The wolf snapped, “Then why did you insult me last year?”
“I wasn’t even born last year,” said the lamb softly.
The wolf narrowed his eyes. “Then your brother did. Or your cousin. Someone like you!”
“I have no brother,” said the lamb. “And I’ve never spoken a mean word.”
The wolf showed his teeth. “You argue too much. That’s bad enough!”
Before the lamb could speak again, the wolf leapt.
And that was the end of the lamb.
Later, the animals whispered, “He didn’t need a reason. He just wanted a meal.”
And the wind carried the lesson far: Some wolves don’t want truth. They only want excuses.
From that day on, the forest watched both words—and teeth.
Because when power speaks, it’s not always fair.
And not every growl means you did something wrong.
