The wolves said to the dogs, "Why, being in every way like us, do you not get on with us as brothers? For we differ in nothing, except in the way we think. We live in freedom; you, subject and enslaved to men, endure their blows, wear collars, and guard the flocks; and when your masters eat, they throw you nothing but bones. But take our word: hand over all the flocks to us and we'll pool them and eat our fill." The dogs lent an ear to these proposals; and the wolves, getting inside the fold, first cut the throats of the dogs.
Such is the wage received by those who betray their homeland.Moral
