Once, a wolf was drinking water at a hilly stream. Suddenly, he saw a lamb drinking water at some distance down the stream. Seeing the tender lamb, the wolf’s mouth began to water. The wolf thought what a delicious meal the lamb would make. “I must catch and kill the lamb for my feast”. The wolf approached the lamb saying, ”How dare you make my water dirty?’ The poor lamb answered, ”No, Sir. How can it be! The stream is flowing down to me from your end”. The wolf got angry and snarling said “You are too arrogant to argue like this”, “Then, why did you rebuke me the last month”. The lamb said, “Excuse me Sir, I was not even born last month” “I’m just ten days old.”. The wolf replied, “Well, then it was your mother who rebuked and insulted me saying, “So, the wicked wolf pounced upon the little lamb and killed it for his food”.

One day, much to their surprise, he called his people together and said to them, “My dear people, the days of my tyranny are over. Therefore you shall live in peace and happiness, for I have decided to try to rule justly and well.”

The King kept his word so well that soon he was known throughout the land as the Just king. By and by, one of his favorites came to him and said, “Your Majesty, I beg of you to tell me how it was that you had this change of heart towards your people?’

And the King replied, ”As I was walking galloping through my forests one afternoon, I caught sight of a hound chasing a fox. The fox escaped into his hole, but not until he had been bitten by the dog so badly that he would be lame for life.

Returning home, the hound met a man who threw a stone at him, which broke his leg. The man had no t gone far when a horse kicked him and broke his leg. Here I came to my senses, and resolved to change my rule. ”For surely,” I said to myself, ”he who does evil will sooner or later be overtaken by evil.
