The Wolf and the Goat
By Singapore Man of Leisure  •  November 25, 2014
A wolf, who was out searching for a meal, saw a goat feeding on grass on top of a high cliff. Wishing to get the goat to climb down from the rock and into his grasp, he called out to her. "Excuse me, dear Goat," he said in a friendly voice, "It is very dangerous for you to be at such a height. Do come down before you injure yourself. Besides, the grass is much greener and thicker down here. Take my advice, and please come down from that high cliff." But the goat knew too well of the wolf's intent. "You don't care if I injure myself or not. You don't care if I eat good grass or bad. What you care about is eating me."
Another tale from Aesop's fables.
Many of us have known the bitter price of "advice" from acquaintances, ex-classmates, distant relatives, ex-NS mates, colleagues, etc.
Then it dawned on me!
Can I recognise a wolf when I see one?
