Explanation:

This story shows us the goatherd's greed. He wanted to attract new goats to his herd which is why he fed them abundantly at the expense of his own, old goats. His old goats got just enough food to survive, whether the wild goats were given loads of food. In the end, the wild goats escaped and his own goats didn't appreciate him anymore. The moral of the story is that you should treat everyone equally and not be biased towards one side more than the other. It is a good message for young children to follow.

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?
