Once upon atime there lived a sheperd who grazed his sheep and goats by the mountain side. One winter day as he was driving his flock home, he noticed that a few wild goats had joined with his herd and he was elated at the opportunity to increase his fold.

As fate would have it it snowed for three days that the farmer was unable to take out his flock out to their pastures. During this time he prepared the driest place for new goats, fed them on the best hay and paid alittle more attention to them, thinking that if he treated them well then they will be motivated to stay.

Once the snow had subsided he drove the herd out however on the return journey home he noticed that the wild goats did not return with the rest of the flock and was troubled at their behaviour.

He spent days searching for the goats trying to understand why they decided to run back into the wild despite the kindness he had shown them. Once he caught up with them they explained " Seeing how cruel you treated your usual flock and treated us strangers well, we discerned that it wont be long before you abandoned us once you found some new sheep or goats to pay attention to!!"

Moral of the story is 'Be careful of strange people who treat you too well'
