The Lamb and the Wolf
By Aesop
A WOLF pursued a Lamb, which fled for refuge to a certain temple. The Wolf called out to him and said: The Priest will slay you in sacrifice, if he should catch you;
on which the Lamb replied: It would be better for me to be sacrificed in the Temple than to be eaten by you.
Moral:
It is safer to be among friends than enemies.
