One day two wolves were arguing
About something small
Their teeth bared jaws snapping
The hair on their neck stood tall
A harebrained rabbit happened by
And said these two are brothers
Should I not try to intervene
And help them love each other
So he raised his voice and said
Friends you should not fight
Stop growling and snapping so
For as brothers it isn't right
The wolves did not hear him
They continued in their brawl
Their anger boiled into a rage
While the rabbit intensified his call
He jumped upon one brother's back
And grabbed him by the ears
The wolves paused momentarily
As the rabbit exhorted them through tears
Silent they stood till an empty stomach rumbled
One said brother I have a hunch
This rabbit's solved our trouble
No need to argue longer about what to eat for lunch
Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
Proverbs 26:17 NIV
