The silly shepherd

Sam was a rather silly shepherd. In fact everyone called him "Silly" for short. Every time he went to market, the farmers warned him about the big bad wolf, but he ignored them. One day, though, Sam saw it following his flock of sheep, but it stayed in the distance and didn't come near. Next day the same thing happened , and the next and the next.

At last Sam thought to himself : "The wolf may be big but it isn't bad at all. It's a very nice wolf, and it's looking after my sheep for me." So next time he went to market he put the wolf in charge, and when he got back he had no sheep left.
