GermanEnglish

Der Æsop für Kinder Der Wolf im Schafspelz Ein gewisser Wolf konnte wegen der Wachsamkeit der Hirten nicht genug zu essen bekommen. Eines Nachts fand er jedoch ein beiseite gelegtes und vergessenes Schafsfell.

The Æsop for Children The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing A certain Wolf could not get enough to eat because of the watchfulness of the Shepherds. But one night he found a sheep skin that had been cast aside and forgotten.

Am nächsten Tag, in das Fell gekleidet, schlenderte der Wolf mit den Schafen auf die Weide. Bald folgte ihm ein kleines Lamm und wurde schnell zur Schlachtung weggeführt.

The next day, dressed in the skin, the Wolf strolled into the pasture with the Sheep. Soon a little Lamb was following him about and was quickly led away to slaughter.

An diesem Abend betrat der Wolf mit der Herde den Stall. Doch es geschah, dass der Hirte an diesem Abend Lust auf Hammelbrühe bekam und mit einem Messer zum Stall ging. Dort war der erste, den er zur Hand nahm und tötete, der Wolf.

That evening the Wolf entered the fold with the flock. But it happened that the Shepherd took a fancy for mutton broth that very evening, and, picking up a knife, went to the fold. There the first he laid hands on and killed was the Wolf.

Reading it as a parallel text
