The 
Shepherd 
and the 
Wild Sheep
Once there was a 
shepherd. 
Every night he counted and gathered his sheep. He was 
sure never to 
overlook 
any of them. One night, he saw some wild sheep had joined his 
herd. He hoped to 
acquire 
the 
newcomers.
It snowed that night. In the morning, the shepherd couldn’t take his sheep out of 
his 
lodge. 
Instead, he had to feed them inside. He gave a small amount of 
wheat 
to his 
own sheep. But he gave more of the food to the w ild sheep. He thought the extra wheat 
would 
discourage 
them from leaving.
It snowed for several days. During that tim e, the shepherd’ s sheep ate very little. The 
w ild sheep, however, ate very well.
At last, the snow melted, and they 
ventured 
outdoors. As soon as he opened the 
door of his 
hut, 
the w ild sheep started to run away.
“ Wait! This is how you 
repay 
me? After I treated you so kindly, why do you run away?”
the shepherd asked. His voice was full of 
hatred.
The w ild sheep stopped and turned toward the shepherd.
“ We’ re leaving because you fed us bette rtha n your own sheep,” one of the wild 
sheep replied. “ You tried to
