                     WOLF, RAM AND SHEPHERDS
                       By Zeljko Bajzer
 
The hungry wolf jumped into the ram's pen. With slim chances, the ram
is defending himself. The shepherds are debating how to solve this
crisis.
 
The UN shepherds say that they are prepared to put a big fence between
the wolf and the ram as soon as they stop fighting. The European Community
shepherds sent monitors to observe the fighting. The monitors recently
reported that indeed the wolf is a wolf and he is attacking the ram. The
mighty shepherd Uncle Sam said that the European shepherds must solve the
crisis and that he will go along with them. Furthermore, he will accept any
solution which the wolf and the ram might come up in peaceful negotiations.
Uncle Sam also imposed an arms embargo on teeth and horns, and an embargo
on meat, grass, wool and zoo animals.
 
The German shepherd is about to recognize the right of ram to live in his
own pen and to defend himself. He seems to be ready to help chase out the
wolf. Some shepherds would agree with such actions, but the British
shepherd objects saying that it could threaten the wolf and incite him to
really kill the ram. The Italian shepherd would like to go along with the
German shepherd, but he had some doubts. The French shepherd would also like
to support the German shepherd if all European Community shepherds can agree
on that.
 
Some shepherds and the wolf himself are concerned that the German shepherd
might become German Shepherd - the dog, and protect the ram's pen as his
own zone of interest. There are rumors that red shepherds, who survived,
will try to save the wolf as an endangered animal.
 
A number of shepherds full of pity are sending to the ram some wound
soothing herbs. Here and there some tiny voices are advocating an old
shepherd's trick to scare away the wolf: get together, show your staffs to
the wolf and start to yell at him loudly and unanimously.
 
Meanwhile the ram's only hope is the Good Shepherd who is willing to
leave 99 sheep and save the one in danger.
