A lamb is drinking water by the river. The wolf saw it and was very happy. Because it is a lamb, it knows that it can't run out of its own wolf claws, so it is not in a hurry to eat. Under such circumstances, there is often a play mentality. Just like a cat catching a mouse, it also has this mentality. It's always necessary to play for a while. Catch and then release, and then catch, just for fun.
So the wolf ran to the upper reaches of the river, pretended to drink water, and then said maliciously, "I said lamb, you made the water dirty." How to drink? You want to die of thirst. You are so bad, I want to eat you. " This makes people feel a bit like a big shot in a country, blaming others and punishing others at will. It's terrible.
The lamb trembled and said, "You are upstream and I am downstream. This water will not flow backwards. How can it be dirty? " The wolf looked at his feet and realized that he was standing in the wrong position. He came up with an excuse: "You scolded me last year, and you deserve to die." The lamb said piteously, "I was not born last year." The wolf was impatient and growled, "Stop it. You are a sheep. Sheep are born for wolves. "
