One fine morning, the leader called his fellow wolves and said, “Dear friends! What I am about to say is very important. All of us should be selfless, because it is evil to be greedy. Therefore, I have made a law that while hunting, if you see that any of our brothers is hungry; then you should share some food to them."

The other wolves were very impressed. They said, “Hear! Hear! We have a fine leader. We should do as he says.” They started their works and went to jungle for hunting.

An Ass who was listening to them said, “O master wolf! Let us begin the selflessness with the sheep that you killed last night and hid in your cave.” Because you kept that one for your food. Can you share that food with your old mother who is so seek and can't hunt anymore.
