That lambs dislike great birds of prey does not seem strange;
only it gives no ground for reproaching these birds of prey for
bearing off little lambs.
And if the lambs say among themselves:
"these birds of prey are evil; and whoever is least like a bird of prey,
but rather its opposite, a lamb—would he not be good?"
there is no reason to find fault wih the institution of an ideal,
except perhaps that the birds of prey might view it a little ironically and say:
"we don't dislike them at all, these good little lambs; we even love them:
nothing is more tasty than a tender lamb."
