give a title to the story: Early every morning, a shepherd took his flock of sheep out in the fields to graze. He would sit by
watching - as the sheep lazily munched on fresh grass. After they had finished, he would round them
up and walk back home. Sometimes while watching his flock, he would curl up in a quiet corner and
go off to sleep.
One day, the shepherd caught a wolf which had strayed into the field, eyeing his sheep. However, it
was some distance away and it made no effort to come nearer. The shepherd at first stood on guard
against the wolf, as against an enemy, and kept a strict watch over its movements. But the wolf did
not do anything. When the shepherd herd the sheep and headed home with his flock, the wolf
quietly followed them at a distance.
This continued for a while. The shepherd would find the wolf waiting at the edge of the field every
morning. But it made not the slightest effort to seize the sheep and would just watch. So, by and by,
the shepherd let down his guard a bit. A few days later, he began to actually look forward to the wolf's
presence.
The wolf generally sat on a large piece of rock, looked like a big sheepdog from afar. The shepherd
thought that other wild animals or mischief-makers would be scared of the dog's presence and not
harm his flock. Now, he began to look upon the wolf as a guardian. One day, in the middle of grazing
his sheep, the shepherd was called back home urgently. Leaving the sheep entirely in charge of the
wolf, he left.
When he came back, what did he find? That the wolf had eaten most of his flock, with only a few
sheep wandering about. Carcasses of the dead sheep lay around, everywhere. The shepherd sat down
in shock after witnessing the slaughter. "Serves me right," he moaned to himself, "after all, I entrusted
the welfare of my flock to a wolf.
