The Lamb and the Wolf

A wolf was in pursuit of a lamb, which fled for refuge to a nearby temple. As the lamb sought safety, the wolf called out, "The priest will slay you as a sacrifice if he catches you!"

The lamb, trembling but resolute, replied, "It would be better for me to be sacrificed in the temple than to be eaten by you."

In that moment, the lamb understood the gravity of his situation and chose to face the lesser of two evils.
