        Once there lived a shepherd in a small village, which was at the edge of the forest. He had a flock of sheep and a guard dog.He lived happily with his family and flock of sheep.

        One day a wolf from the forest came to that village. He saw the shepherd's flock and he started to eat them up one by one everyday. At last the shepherd had only one sheep and his guard dog. The shepherd felt very sad and he decided to sell that last sheep to butcher. The sheep came to know the shepherd's decision when he was dicussing with his wife. The little sheep decided to move away instead of dying with butcher's knife.The sheep left the pen on the same night. The guard dog saw the sheep leaving and it followed him. The wolf also saw the sheep and the guard dog leaving. The wolf wanted to eat the sheep for the dinner, but it was not possible in presence of the guard dog. So the wolf  made a plan to eat the sheep and asked them, "Hello there, where are you going, may I join you, can I be your friend"

     The dog understood the wolf's plan and it suddenly saw a trap near a tree. So the dog replied "Alright, if you can touch that holy tree then we will accept you as our friend". The wolf did not see the trap and went near the tree to touch it. The wolf got caught in the trap and could'nt move.

     The dog and the sheep went back to the shepherd's place, the shepherd saw them and he decided not to sell the sheep to the butcher and they lived happily ever after.
