Writers may mistake the lesson in Aesop's 107-word fable as a wolf in sheep's clothing because it's so much fun! All about a wolf that disguises himself as a sheep to prey on those within a flock, individuals discuss the theme of appearances with the passage that scored a 7.7 on the Flesch-Kincaid readability scale. The post-reading idiom activity investigates the meaning of words as the author uses them in context.
