In this fable, a wolf encounters a lamb and seeks a justification for eating him. Despite the lamb's innocent protests and logical refutations of the wolf's accusations, the wolf ultimately devours him. This story illustrates how tyrants often fabricate excuses to justify their oppressive actions, highlighting the futility of reasoning with those who wield power unjustly.
