Oh, what a suit; what fine noble thread, below blinding pearly whites and such a nice hair of head. "Lose a little now to gain twice as much later. Don't be a dope," (schmuck, fool, sucker.) That's what he said through sharpened teeth. I should've known better than to believe a single thing. A wolf invited himself inside and talked me into buying his sheepskin suit, but it turns out that he was a fox disguised as a wolf in sheep's clothing, and so I bought the wolf's skin too. "A two-for-one deal, whaddaya say?" I can't believe I fell for a walking cliché.
