The book is play by the title ‘A Sheep Had by a Great Man Been Rescued’ which conjures up a hemistich by renowned classical Persian poet Saadi.

Below is the full story from Saadi's Golestan in verse:

I heard that a sheep had by a great man

Been rescued from the jaws and the power of a wolf.

In the evening he stroked her throat with a knife

Whereon the soul of the sheep complained thus:

Thou hast snatched me away from the claws of a wolf,

But at last I see thou art thyself a wolf.'
