Eating the lamb is good for the wolf but bad for the lamb.
Comments
The story works not by the cycle itself, a mere interpersonal conflict, but by the transition from a situation where the wolf feels the need to find an excuse to a situation where this need does not exist anymore. See also The Fox & the Grapes.
