"The Blind Man and the Whelp" by Aesop (translated into English)


          A blind man was accustomed to distinguishing different animals by touching them with his hands.  The whelp of a Wolf was brought to him, with a request that he would feel it, and say what it was. He felt it, and being in doubt, said:  "I do not quite know whether it is the cub of a Fox, or the whelp of a Wolf, but this I know full well: it would not be safe to admit him to the sheepfold."   

Evil tendencies are shown in early life.
