The Clever Shepherd
The Clever Shepherd (Nigeria): Highlights the power of intelligence and strategy in protecting one’s flock.
Once upon a time, in a small village in Nigeria, there lived a young shepherd named Musa. Musa was known throughout the village for his intelligence and quick thinking. He had a small flock of sheep that he cared for and protected with all his might.
One day, a group of thieves came to the village with the intention of stealing some of the livestock. They had been causing trouble in nearby villages and were known to be very dangerous. Musa heard about the thieves and knew that he had to protect his sheep.
He came up with a plan to outsmart the thieves. Musa knew that the thieves would come at night, so he set up a trap. He dug a deep pit and covered it with branches and leaves. Then, he placed his sheep around the pit, making it look like they were sleeping.
That night, the thieves arrived and saw the sheep. They thought it would be an easy target and started to approach them. However, Musa had anticipated their arrival and was watching from a distance.
As the thieves got closer, Musa made a loud noise, causing the sheep to scatter in all directions. The thieves were caught off guard and fell into the pit that Musa had dug. They were trapped and unable to escape.
Musa quickly ran to the village and told everyone what had happened. The villagers came and apprehended the thieves, who were later punished for their crimes.
From that day on, Musa was known as the clever shepherd. He had used his intelligence and strategy to protect his flock and save the village from danger. The villagers respected him and looked up to him as a hero.
And so, Musa continued to care for his sheep and protect them from harm, always using his wit and intelligence to stay ahead of any danger that may come their way.
