The lion jumped in among the flock of sheep and said, "Halt, halt!" But the sheep ran away and the little lion ran too. The lion only pursued the lion-cub, not the sheep, and when it caught up with it the lion said, "I wish to speak to you." The cub said, "I tremble, I am afraid, I cannot stand before you." The lion said, "Why are you running about with the sheep? you yourself are a little lion!" "No," said the little one. "I am a sheep; let me go, let me go with the sheep."
