The Blind Man and the Whelp

　　A BLIND MAN was accustomed to distinguishing different animals by　touching them with his hands. The whelp of a Wolf was brought　him, with a request that he would feel it, and say what it was.

　　He felt it, and being in doubt, said: "I do not quite know　whether it is the cub of a Fox, or the whelp of a Wolf, but this　I know full well. It would not be safe to admit him to the　sheepfold."　Evil tendencies are shown in early life.
