 For instance, the fable of "The Wolf and the Lamb", also known as Fable 2 in Marie de France’s collection, follows a well-known and established storyline.Just as in Aesop’s original fable, Marie de France’s translation describes a lamb and a wolf drinking from the same stream, the wolf unjustly condemning the lamb to death for drinking inoffensively downstream from him.Marie de France repeats the established moral at the end, "But these are things rich nobles do…destroy folk with false evidence".
