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. Nevertheless 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 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 the goats, "if you prefer us new animals to your sheep, how will you treated us if you find some more animals in your flock?"
So do not be too happy if someone shows you that prefer you to their old friends. You too will soon be an old.
