The Stag, the Wolf, and the Sheep

By AESOP

A STAG asked a Sheep to lend him a measure of wheat, and said that the Wolf would be his surety.

The Sheep, fearing some fraud was intended, excused herself, saying, "The Wolf is accustomed to seize what he wants and to run off; and you, too, can quickly outstrip me in your rapid flight. How then shall I be able to find you, when the day of payment comes?"

Two blacks do not make one white.
