A shepherd boy was tending 90 sheep and ended up by river that seems to have no end. Carefully looking, the shepherd boy found a big boat and the boatman. The boy asked the boatman if he could help transport his sheep across the river.
The boatman requested half of the sheep that across the river.
The shepherd boy have to cross the river but didn’t want to give 45 sheep. Since there was no other way but to agree, the shepherd boy loaded the sheep on the boat and crossed the river.
After crossing the river, the shepherd boy told him that he would only give 30 sheep. When the boatman got angry, the boy explained, “I have agreed to give half of the sheep that will across. I loaded only 60 sheep so I only owe you 30 sheep. Your 30 sheep are on the other side of the river.”
The quick thinking of the wise shepherd boy saved 15 sheep.
There are times we may end up in lose lose situation. In those moments, I pray that God will grant you wisdom and strength to minimize your loss and suffering.
Have a blessed week!
