shut up every night in the fold. She thought, as many foolish children think, that she was big enough to take care of herself. So she came to her mother, who was a wise old sheep, and said to her, "I wonder why we are shut up so, every night? The dogs are not shut up, and why should we be shut up? I think it very hard, and I will get away if I can, I am resolved; for I like to run about where I please and I think it is very pleasant in the woods by moonlight." Then the old sheep said to her, "You are a very silly creature, you little lamb; you had better stay in the fokl. The shepherd is so good to us, that we should always do os he bids us; and if you wander about by yourself, I dare say you will come to some harm." "I dare say not," said the little lamb. So when the evening came, and the shepherd called them all to come into the fold, she would not come, but crept slily under the fence and hid herself; and when the rest of the lambs were all in the fòld, she came out, and jumped, and frisked, and danced about; and she got out of the field, and got into a great thick wood, full of trees; and a very fierce hungry wolf came rushing out of a cave, and howled very loud. Then the silly lanıb wished she had been shut up in the fold; but the fold was a great way off. So the wolf saw her, and seized her, and carried her away to a dismal dark den, all covered with bones and blood; and there the wolf had two cubs, and the wolf said to them," Here I have brought you a young fat lamb." And so the cubs took the lamb, and growled over her a little while, and then tore her to pieces and ate her up. Little children should always mind what their parents say to them, and remember that those who are older, know better than they do, what is good for them. Children who do what their parents forbid them, or what they tell them they had better pot do, very often get hurt by having their own way.
