A short story by Ambrose Bierce

The Wolf And The Lamb

________________________________________________
Title:     The Wolf And The Lamb
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

A Lamb, pursued by a Wolf, fled into the temple.

"The priest will catch you and sacrifice you," said the Wolf, "if you remain there."

"It is just as well to be sacrificed by the priest as to be eaten by you," said the Lamb.

"My friend," said the Wolf, "it pains me to see you considering so great a question from a purely selfish point of view. It is not just as well for me."
