Lamb and wolf story?
The tug of war between the Mayor of Rajshahi and The Chairman Education Board reminds me of a story the moral of which is “Rogues must have some plea.” The story runs like “A lamb was drinking water from a spring. Suddenly a wolf appeared overhead and barged in rudely at the lamb, “Why are you muddying my water ” “How it is possible sir, you are at the upstream and I am at the downstream !” The lamb bleated timidly. “Then you called me names,” the wolf nagged still forcefully. “How long ago sir?” “The lamb wondered miserably. “The wolf asserted,” “A year ago” “Sir I am only six months old. I was not born a year ago.” The lamb tried to correct the wolf. “ Then your father did so.” With this the wolf allowed no chance for any further defence from the lamb. He jumped on it and made a feast on it. The analogy may not be misplaced!
Nobody in Rajshahi lends credence to the fabrication of the mayor, except for a few cohorts that were spawned by him.
