The Wolf's ability to deceive the Sheep by wearing a sheep's skin demonstrates the theme of appearances being misleading, as it allows him to gain access to the flock and prey on them.
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 it 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.What text evidence
