The wolf in sheeps clothing (Stranger Danger)

The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Illustrated by Terrence Morash

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 in 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.

I think this can be a great and simple way to remind our children about stranger danger as a lot of time people will approach a child offering lollies or some other incentive to go with them. Some will even rock up to a childs school or play ground saying that mummy or daddy sent them to pick them up. Of course one needs to put strategies in place to prevent this from happening True.This is just another one of Aesop's Fables but it does teach us alot!For more of these great stories you can go to http://www.umass.edu/aesop/fables.php
