Phoenix: *looks at last update for story* 5...YEARS?!?! SWEET MOTHER OF PEARL!?! Okay you people need not have me EVER wait that long to update a story again! Seriously, that's nuts! I originally planned on putting this on hiatus for like 3 months. Not 5. FREAKING. YEARS!!! Geeze! Anywho, onto the next fable!
Flipping a page, Midnight glanced at the art for this next table with an almost spooked look.
"What's wrong?", Melody Star asked.
"I'll warn you guys...this is one that's definitely on the darker side of fables.", Midnight replied with a small shudder.
"Oh come off it! How bad could it be?", Dessert Wind asked in a non pulsed way.
"Listen and I'll tell you. It's called, The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", Midnight sighed as she started to read.
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. 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.
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
Moral of the Story:The evil doer often comes to harm through his own deceit.
