  The Shepherd's Folly: A Village Tale Once upon a time, there was a small village near green hills and open fields. The villagers lived simple lives. They grew crops, kept animals, and helped one another in times of need. Among them lived a young boy whose job was to look after the village sheep. Every morning, he took the sheep up the hillside so they could eat fresh grass, and every evening he brought them safely back to the village. At first, the boy enjoyed his work. He liked the fresh air, the sound of birds, and the peaceful view of the village below. But after many days, he began to feel bored and lonely. There was no one to talk to on the hill, and watching sheep all day felt slow and dull. “This work is so boring,” the boy said to himself one afternoon. “Nothing ever happens here.” As he sat on a rock, looking down at the village, a naughty idea came into his mind. He smiled and thought,   What if I play a trick on the villagers?   He stood up, took a deep breat...
