Eliot/Jacobs Version

A Wolf was drinking at a spring on a hillside. On looking up he saw a Lamb just beginning to drink lower down. “There’s my supper,” thought he, “if only I can find some excuse to seize it.” He called out to the Lamb, “How dare you muddle my drinking water?”

“No,” said the Lamb; “if the water is muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me.”

“Well, then,” said the Wolf, “why did you call me bad names this time last year?”

“That cannot be,” said the Lamb; “I am only six months old.”

A Wolf seeing a Lamb drinking at a brook, took it into his head that he would find some plausible excuse for eating him. So he drew near, and, standing higher up the stream, began to accuse him of disturbing the water and preventing him from drinking.

The Lamb replied that he was only touching the water with the tips of his lips; and that, besides, seeing that he was standing down stream, he could not possibly be disturbing the water higher up. So the Wolf, having done no good by that accusation, said: “Well, but last year you insulted my Father.” The Lamb replying that at that time he was not born, the Wolf wound up by saying: “However ready you may be with your answers, I shall none the less make a meal of you.”

Aesop For Children

Milo Winter (1919)

A stray Lamb stood drinking early one morning on the bank of a woodland stream. That very same morning a hungry Wolf came by farther up the stream, hunting for something to eat. He soon got his eyes on the Lamb. As a rule Mr. Wolf snapped up such delicious morsels without making any bones about it, but this Lamb looked so very helpless and innocent that the Wolf felt he ought to have some kind of an excuse for taking its life.

“How dare you paddle around in my stream and stir up all the mud!” he shouted fiercely. “You deserve to be punished severely for your rashness!”

“But, your highness,” replied the trembling Lamb, “do not be angry! I cannot possibly muddy the water you are drinking up there. Remember, you are upstream and I am downstream.”

“You do muddy it!” retorted the Wolf savagely. “And besides, I have heard that you told lies about me last year!”

“How could I have done so?” pleaded the Lamb. “I wasn’t born until this year.”

“If it wasn’t you, it was your brother!”

“I have no brothers.”

“Well, then,” snarled the Wolf, “It was someone in your family anyway. But no matter who it was, I do not intend to be talked out of my breakfast.”

And without more words the Wolf seized the poor Lamb and carried her off to the forest.

Moral

The tyrant can always find an excuse for his tyranny.

The unjust will not listen to the reasoning of the innocent.

Jefferys Taylor

A WOLF and lamb once chanced to meet

Beside a stream, whose waters sweet

Brought various kinds of beasts together,

When dry and sultry was the weather;

Now though the wolf came there to drink,

Of eating he began to think,

As soon as near the lamb he came,

And straight resolved to kill the same;

Yet thought it better to begin

With threat’ning words and angry mien.

“And so,” said he to him below,

“How dare you stir the water so?

Making the cool refreshing flood

As brown as beer, and thick as mud.”

“Sir,” said the lamb, “that cannot be,

The water flows from you to me;

So, ’tis impossible, I think,

That what I do can spoil your drink.”

“I say it does, you saucy puss:

How dare you contradict me thus?

But more than this, you idle clack,

You rail’d at me behind my back

Two years ago, I have been told;”

“How so? I’m not a twelvemonth old,”

The lamb replied; “so I suspect

Your honour is not quite correct.”

“If not, your mother it must be,

And that is all the same to me,”

Rejoin’d the wolf—who waited not,

But kill’d and ate him on the spot.

Some, like the wolf, adopt the plan

To make a quarrel if they can;

But none with you can hold
