How does the story go in Aesop's fable about a sheep being condemned for muddying the water?
A wolf wants an excuse to eat a lamb. He accuses the lamb of dirtying the river water he was about to drink, but the lamb says he couldn't have done that because he is downstream from the wolf. Then the wolf says the lamb said ugly things about him a year ago. The lamb objects, because he was not born a year ago. Angrily, the wolf shouts that it must have been his father, so the lamb was equally guilty. He devours the lamb. Moral: any excuse will serve a tyrant.
