The Shepherd and the Sheep

(单词翻译:单击)
A SHEPHERD driving his Sheep to a wood, saw an oak of unusual
size full of
acorns1, and spreading his cloak under the branches,
he climbed up into the tree and shook them down. The Sheep
eating the acorns inadvertently
frayed2 and tore the cloak. When
the Shepherd came down and saw what was done, he said, "O you
most ungrateful creatures! You provide wool to make garments for
all other men, but you destroy the clothes of him who feeds you."
