The Monkey shepherd.

An African shepherd, living in a lit
tie hut on the African veldt, once
caught a monkey when he was out
with his flock. and took it home with
him. He took care Of it and fed it,
and the monkey used to go out with
the shepherd every. day, until at last
it got TO know the goats so well that
it could be trusted to take care Of
them all alone.
So when the shepherd did not want
to 90 out the monkey could remain
with the flock all day, and then drive
it home to the kraal at night, riding
on the back Of one Of the goats.
