A Wolf coming out of a field of oats met a Horse and thus addressed him: “I would advise you to go into that field. It is full of fine oats, which I have left untouched for you, as you are a friend whom I would love to hear enjoying good eating.” The Horse replied, “If oats had been the food of wolves, you would never have indulged your ears at the cost of your belly.”

Aesop was an ancient Greek storyteller, believed to have lived around 620–564 BCE, whose fables have been retold across cultures for over two millennia. His tales are renowned for distilling sharp moral truths into brief, memorable animal encounters. "The Wolf and the Horse" is a fine example of his recurring theme: that true motives are revealed not by words, but by the logic behind them.
