All speckled sheep the Lion King abhorred,of course, to kill them off would not have taken long,But that,of course,would be extremely wrong,It is not for this the forest calls him lord,for justice,not for wrath,he holds his lofty station,and yet a speckled sheep to see he can't abide.Then how get rid of them yet keep his reputation?He summons to his side the bear and fox,and hastens to confide his piteous tale to their devotion:
"To see a speckled sheep so hurts my eyes,I find the sight is simply undermined.I see that in the end I surely shall go blind,and how to deal with it,I have not got anotion!"
The bear,he gives a scowl,"Most puissant King,"says he,"The matter's clear enough for me!Without another word condemn the sheep to be destroyed, Why, no one cares for them."
At this time Lion frowned, of which the fox took note.He humbly lifts his voice,"Oh,King, our noble King,I'm sure to those poor beasts you'll never do a thing! You a guiltless head devote?A better plan I venture to suggest:Allot them special fields,the fairest and the best,where ewes have grass to eat all day,and little lambs can frisk about and play,and as of shepherds.It is but very few we keep,give orders to the wolves to guard the sheep.I somehow think—it's just a guess, no doubt, that sheep will anyhow be dying out. Then let them now, at least, be free and happy there, and if they die, it won't be your affair."
"In favour?"asked the King, and every paw was showing.
The plan worked out so well that.As the days went on, the speckled sheep were nearly gone, the plain ones were going,too. And how did all the beasts this sad result explain?The Lion does his best:"It's all those wolves again."
