The sheep hold its breath. Its thick gray tail swung impatiently.

Seeing that, the lawyer said with a smirk on his face, "but you weren't a sheep. You were something else," his eyes narrowed into a thin line. "Who are you, really?"

A gleam of fear flashed through the sheep's pupils. "Look at my skin! For a humble simple sheep I am, what else I could be?" it cried. It moved its body forward for the lawyer to take a closer look. Meanwhile the chilling wind of mid September passed by again, blowing away the sheep skin from the sheep like animal. Now, only the pelt was left. Like a first time stripper standing in front of her audiences, the animal was quite embarrassed. It said staggeringly, "please count me in…"

The lawyer's voice suddenly became as righteous as St. Joan of Arc defending France. Truth in his eyes, justice on his hands, he reproached the animal, "O you most dishonorable of all animals! Sheep as you might look; you lied as detestable as any wolf. If I counted you in my dreams, no sweet sleep would have I enjoyed. Blood and tear will spread among the sheep, no more dreams but nightmares leave. Be gone! Till the last drop of blood, I shall defend my sheep from your greedy mouth."

"O My friend," the wolf said; "not a wolf I am, please…"

"Be gone!" the lawyer shouted, "You wolf in a sheep's clothing. No friend we could be!"

"O My friend," the wolf insisted; "but the same we are…"

"Be gone!" the lawyer reemphasized; "In the name of Defender of the Sheep, no friend we could be! No same we shall share!"

"O My friend," the wolf said cunningly; "Yes, the same we are, the same we talked…"

"Be gone!" the lawyer said, losing half of the justice from his right hand, he amended," I mean… go away. We never talked alike. We are not the same. I am…" The lawyer paused, tasting the juice of lamb still left in his mouth, he continued, "I am still the Defender of the Sheep."
