NARRATIVE TEXT

TEXT 1

A shepherd took his sheep out to pasture, but when it was time to return to the sheep pen, he found

that some wild goats had become mixed up with his flock. Nonetheless, he was very pleased that the

flock had grown by itself, and he closed the goats into the pen along with the sheep.

The next day was rainy and the shepherd decided not to go out. He gave his sheep only a small handful

of food, while he gave much bigger rations to the goats. He thought that if he treated them well, they

would stay with him. In spite of this, as soon as the shepherd opened the gate, the goats ran out and he

was unable to catch them again.

"Ungrateful beasts," shouted the shepherd after them." I treated you better than the other!" "That's

why we're going," answer one of the goats. "If you prefer us new animals to your sheep, how will you

treat us if you find some more animals in your flock?"

So do not be too happy if someone shows you that they prefer you to their old friends. You too will soon

be an old friend and could be replaced just as easily.
