The Intelligent Elves And The Shepherd

By Hiti Anand

Once there was a beautiful and a little ugly island. It was between a beautiful ocean with no garbage. A shepherd was shipping in that ocean to collect fish. Suddenly, a shark started chasing the shepherd’s ship. The shepherd saw the island and shipped there in a hurry.

After he reached there, he said to himself, “phew! Thank goodness I saw this island here but I am a little confused is this island ugly or beautiful? Maybe if I explore, I would know!”. He started exploring and soon found a beautiful place with a cottage. The shepherd knocked the door but no one answered so he tried again but no answer came just as last time.

He noticed that the door was open so he went inside and in there he found dirty dishes on a table and nothing else. He washed the dirty dishes. After a while a bunch of elves came. The oldest elf said “Oh, who do we have here?” The shepherd told the whole story. The elf said “If you have sleeping medicine you can throw it in the ocean and the shark will fall asleep after eating it. The shepherd did the same as he had the medicine and thanked the elves then happily went home after collecting fish.

MORAL-Helping always leads to good.
