A BLIND MAN was accustomed to distinguishing different animals by

　　touching them with his hands. The whelp of a Wolf was brought

　　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 cub1 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.
