Hello I am new here, just wanted to share a story that was told to me....
A young lad wanted to raise sheep for a living so he gathered all the information he could on the subject. After all the reading he done he decided the best way to learn this trait was to observe.
He went to a place where he knew shepherds brought their flocks and started to observe.
Finally one man leading a flock of sheep appeared on the grassy knoll, he noticed the man yelling and cursing at the sheep using his rod and staff to hurt and hit them into obeying his lead.
This went on for quite sometime until the young lad had enough and approached him.
The young lad told the man of his intent to raise sheep, that the books he had read were quite the opposite on what the man was displaying. With this the man replied, " oh no you want to observe the shepherds that are over the next hill. You see the man said " I am the butcher.
