Geographic: Brussels; Belgium; Ancient Greece
Description: The wolf contemplates on top of a tall rock two dogs, who instead of keeping the peace close to the herd they are meant to guard, are distracted by a dog fight. This battle would make it easy for the wolf to infultrate the sheep, without any danger. so he promptly goes, and kills the biggest sheep. The dogs see the wolf, end their quarel, and chase the wolf, and kill him.
