There was once a boy who had inherited a job of leading a flock of sheep’s in a village far away.

This was no ordinary village. It was a blessed piece of land with lush pastures and plentiful resources. It is said that, the occupants of this village were a handful of herding dynasties. And mostly sheep’s! Or at least it seems so considering the outrageous events which unfolded in front of them not to mention the absurd living conditions they bore without as much as a …. Baaaahhhhh!!

Nevertheless, the herder of the flock was a coveted position in the village sought after by many. So before we go any further. It’s important that the tale of how the boy landed it be told ….. Legend has it that the village was a democracy and it may seem that the herder of the herd was not some position that could be merely inherited like in an oligarchy or a monarchy.

But the boy did!


It turns out the boy possessed the will of the previous deceased herder (who off course belonged to the herding dynasty). It totally stated that he was to inherit the dynasty and everything that goes with it. In case anything happened to her. So he did!


Now with the unquestioned support of his inherited faction of sheep’s the boy aspired to become the head herder.

There was only one little problem.


There was this other contender for the same position. He and his brother also wanted that position to come back to the family. You would think that they would be worthy opponents of the boy given their long history and bad blood but they weren’t.

The brothers had a price!

The boy the demonic genius he was; figured this out and devised a plan of “reconciliation” and reached an agreement with the poser brothers. According to which they were to have at their disposal herding rights of a large faction of sheep’s in a chunk of the village, along with all its pastures and the bounties it had to offer.

The boy would have control of the rest of the village its sheep’s and the whole shebang. And after some predetermined time period they would switch roles. This was to continue until the end of times. Unfortunately, the sheep’s: fully knowing about the boy’s heinous agenda and long dark demented history also didn’t object to his
instatement. Primarily because, well they were “sheep’s” with short memories and attention spans and partly due to the fact that their stomachs were full at the time.

With the plans of a vicious cycle chalked out and the rest of the village idiots paid off. The boy and the brothers had literally no opposition and were free to plunder the village and rape its land any way they wanted, to try to fill their bottomless greed. And they did! Now the brothers would at times get impatient and demand for their turn at which point the boy would remind them of the establishment (apparently that’s what they called wolves at the time).


And how it would mean an end to their vicious cycle and that the brothers “turn” as the lead herders would never come.

The boy started to believe his own hype and in his paranoia he also wrote “memo’s” to herder’s of other villages about the wolf and asked them to help. In return he offered the villages head on a platter.


He would cry wolf to the sheep’s also and told them that their prosperity depended upon the system of herding his inherited family had sacrificed for and the tales about how they were eaten by the wolf.

This worked pretty well for the boy for a while but over a period of time the sheep’s started noticing the hellish circumstances around them and heads started rising. With their bones starting to show, the pastures going barren and the village on fire the illusion of a prosperous life under the aesthetically pleasing and politically correct “herding system” started fading out.

The sheep’s had enough!

Eventually survival instincts kicked they didn’t care about any mythical wolves, hyenas or any other predators all they knew was that their very existence was at stake and they wanted out. Needless to say, chaos ensued and a great many sequence of events unfolded. Now there are some contradictions as to how the story concluded. Some
say there was no wolf and the boy, the brothers and their accessories in crime were trampled by the wrath of the very own sheep they considered benign. Others say it was in fact is the wolf who took them out.

But does it really matter how it went down?

It didn’t to the sheep’s ……
