The Unheard Lamb: Small Nations in the Shadow of Superpower Appetites

 

One day, a hungry wolf spotted a lamb drinking peacefully from a stream. Determined to devour the lamb, the wolf sought to justify his cruelty with false accusations.

Wolf (fiercely): "How dare you muddy the water I’m about to drink?"
Lamb (meekly): "Forgive me, sir, but that’s impossible. The water flows from you to me—how could I disturb it upstream?"

Wolf (growling): "Enough excuses! A year ago, you slandered me behind my back!"
Lamb (gently): "But sir, I wasn’t even born then."

Wolf (snarling): "Then it was your brother!"
Lamb (innocently): "I have no brothers."

Wolf (with finality): "It was one of your kind—no more lies!"

With that, the wolf pounced, dragged the lamb into the woods, and devoured him.

Moral of the Story:

When a tyrant seeks a pretext for cruelty, no logic or innocence can stop him. Might often overrules right.
