The Shepherd and the Wolf Cub

A shepherd, having found a little wolf, reared it; then, when it had become a cub, he taught it to carry off sheep from the neighbouring flocks. The wolf, once trained, said to him, "Now that you have got me into the habit of stealing, take care you don't find many of your own sheep missing."

People whom nature has made formidable, once trained to plunder and theft, have often done more harm to their masters than to strangers.
