The Wolves sent a deputation to the Sheep with proposals for a lasting peace between them, on condition of their giving up the sheep-dogs to instant death. The foolish Sheep agreed to the terms; but an old Ram, whose years had brought him wisdom, interfered and said, “How can we expect to live at peace with you? Why, even with the dogs at hand to protect us, we are never secure from your murderous attacks!”
狼派遣使团去和绵羊谈判，希望双方之间能够缔结永久的和平，只要他们能够将牧羊犬立即处死。愚蠢的绵羊要同意，但是一只老公羊见多识广，插口说道：“我们怎么能跟你们和平相处呢？哎呀，现在有狗保护我们，我们还逃不过你们的魔爪呢！”
