Hepherd keeps a lot of sheep. He sells wool for a living. During the day, the shepherd drove the sheep to the grass on the hillside, and at night he drove the sheep to the fenced sheepfold for the night.

A wolf coveted the sheep for a long time, but it had no chance of catching them, because during the day the sheep were grazing on the hillside with hounds, and shepherds were patrolling with shotguns, and as soon as the wolf appeared, there was no place to die. In the evening, the sheep lived in the sheep pen, the high fence blocked the wolf, it still had no chance to catch the sheep. Round and round the sheepfold, the wolf suddenly had an idea. It said to the sheep :" Now wool is worthless, I heard the master said that the New year is ready to kill you to sell meat! "I give you a proposal to avoid being killed, tomorrow when you go to the hillside to eat grass do not come back, every day to eat grass is very free, why not do it ?"

Many old sheep despise wolves, but one of the young sheep thinks the wolf's advice is good.

The next day, the little sheep who had finished eating grass on the hillside hid in the grass and did not follow the sheep back to the sheepfold. In the evening, the little sheep slept in the grass under the hillside, but it was very close to the wolf's home. The little sheep naturally became a wolf's dinner.

In life, risk exists, but if the advice to avoid risk comes from the enemy, you have to think carefully, because too many times, his advice will not bring you any benefits, will only lead you to the abyss of death.

      一位牧羊人养了很多绵羊，他靠出售羊毛为生。白天，牧羊人把羊群赶到山坡的草地上吃草，晚上就把羊群赶到栅栏围成的羊圈里过夜。

一只狼对这些绵羊垂涎很久了，但是它没有机会抓到羊，因为白天羊群在山坡上吃草时有猎狗在放哨，还有牧羊人手拿猎枪在巡逻，只要狼一出现，就死无葬身之地。到了晚上，羊住在羊圈里，高高的栅栏挡住了狼，它还是没有机会抓住羊。绕着羊圈转了一圈又一圈，狼忽然有了主意。它对羊群说：“现在羊毛不值钱了，我听主人说到过年时准备把你们杀了卖肉！我给你们一个免于被杀的建议，明天你们到山坡上吃草时就不要回来了，天天有草吃还很自由，何乐而不为呢？”

        很多老绵羊对狼不屑一顾，但有一只涉世未深的小绵羊认为狼的建议很不错。

        第二天，在山坡上吃完草的小绵羊就藏在草地里，没有跟着羊群回到羊圈里，到了晚上，小绵羊就睡在山坡下的草丛里，没想到这离狼的家很近，小绵羊理所当然地成了狼的晚餐。

         生活中，风险固然存在，但如果规避风险的建议来自敌人时，你就要细细考虑了，因为太多时候，他的建议不会给你带来任何益处，只会把你引向死亡的深渊。
