In one village they decided to christen the wolf so that it would stop killing sheep. The wolf agreed with difficulty and swore on his honor that after baptism he would not slaughter sheep. They invited a priest; he began to read prayers, and the wolf jumped up, pricked up his ears, and listened. The priest asks what happened.
“It seemed to me that a sheep bleated somewhere,” answered the wolf.
