I DO BELIEVE

Recently,I had borrowed a book for library that is called "Wisdom of Aesop's Fables".
Those interesting Fables always inspire me when I got into the similar affair in my life .

Meanwhile, I wanna share those useful Fables with you n learn English also.Let's start~

---

An Ass, feeding in a meadow, saw a Wolf approaching to seize him,and immediately 
pretended to be lame.The Wolf ,coming up , inquired the cause of his lameness.The 
Ass said ,that passing through a hedge he trod with his foot upon a sharp thorn,and 
requested the Wolf to pull it out , lest when he supped on him it should in jure his throat. 


The Wolf consenting,and lifting up the foot,and giving his whole mind to the discovery of 
the thorn, the Ass with his heels kicked his teeth into his mouth ,and galloped away.The 
Wolf ,being thus fearfully mauled,said,"I am rightly served,for why did I attempt the art of 
healing, when my father only taught me the trade of a butcher?'
