      The Blind Man and the Whelp 
    
    
      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 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.
