Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese

　There was a blind person who could always tell which kind of animal he was touching.


　One day, someone brought him a wolf child.

　When he touched the animal, he tilted his head in puzzlement.

　He then said,

“Huh, is this a wolf child?

　or is it a fox cub?

　or is it a child of some animal that is similar to them?

　I cannot tell.

　However, I know one thing for sure

　that this animal will not be a friend to the sheep”


　As this story portrays, it is easy to identify evil through its form.

　Even if a criminal tries to deceive a wise man, the wise man will always know their true nature.
