The theme of this material is the parable of the wolf. This animal is found quite often in the works of this genre, and today we will consider several classic examples of such instructive stories.
Conscience
The first creation to talk about is "The Parable of the Wolf and the Priest." Let's start with the main character. From the first lines of the parable introduces us to the wolf. He tore many sheep, and also threw people into tears and confusion. One fine day, remorse began to torment him. He began to repent of his own life. The wolf decided to change and no longer kill the sheep. So that everything was according to the rules, the wolf went to the priest, asked him for a thanksgiving service. The minister of the church began the service, the protagonist, in turn, stood in a holy place and cried. The procession was long. Many sheep happened to kill the wolf, so the priest prayed with utmost seriousness, asking that the parishioner change. Suddenly, the penitent looked out the window and saw an amazing picture. Sheep was driven home. He then began to shift on his feet. The priest continued to pray, and there was no end in sight. At some point, the wolf could not stand it and asked the minister of the church to finish the sermon before the sheep were driven home, otherwise he would be left without dinner.
Indian
There is another curious parable about the wolf, and not about one, but even about two. She tells the story of how, in the old days, an old Native American to his grandson discovered one of life's truths. He said that the struggle is in each of the people. She is very similar to the battle of two wolves. The first of them is evil - lies, ambitions, selfishness, regret, jealousy, envy. Another wolf is responsible for good: fidelity, kindness, truth, hope, love, peace. The little Indian was touched with all his heart by the words of his grandfather. He thought for a few moments, and then asked which wolf wins in the end. The old Indian smiled slightly and said that the one that the man was feeding prevailed.
Joker
Next, we will consider the parable of the wolf and the shepherd. A man alone grazing sheep. He wanted to see people. Then he made a noise and cried out about the approach of the wolf. People from the village came running with chains and sticks. Looked around. Surprised at first. After they spat and returned to the village to themselves. Time passed, the shepherd decided to repeat his venture. People came running again, but not so soon. When the wolf really appeared on the horizon, the shepherd screamed, but no one believed him and came to the rescue. Perhaps this is the most famous parable about the wolf.
