• The Goatherd and the Wild Goats

Value those who are loyal before it's too late.

Once, a Goatherd looked after his goats in a green field, making sure they were well-fed and safe every day.

One day, a group of Wild Goats came by while his goats were grazing. The Goatherd was impressed by how strong and beautiful the Wild Goats looked, and he wanted them to join his flock. He went over to them and kindly offered food and shelter if they would stay.

The Wild Goats, attracted by the offer, agreed to stay with the herd. Over time, the Goatherd grew to like the Wild Goats more than his own, admiring their wild nature and giving them the best food and care.

As days went by, the Goatherd’s original goats began to feel ignored. They noticed he was no longer giving them as much attention, and they grew thin and weak from not being cared for as before.

Then one day, a big storm came. The Wild Goats, sensing the danger, decided to return to the mountains to find shelter. The Goatherd was left with only his original goats, now weak and tired from his neglect.
