Once upon a time there was a shepherd. He was not rich, but he lived happily in his village until one day all his sheep became ill and died. He had no money and no land, so he decided to go to the city and find a job there.

The Magic garden

A shepherd and a farmer were best friends.
‘We’ve been friends for twenty years.
Stay here and I’ll help you,’ the farmer said.
He gave the shepherd half of his land.

One day, he found a pot of gold coins
buried in the ground.
‘This was my friend’s land,’ he thought.
‘I’ll give the gold to him.’
But the farmer didn’t want to take it.

They couldn’t decide what to do, so the next day they went to ask a wise man who lived in the same village. The wise man was teaching a group of students when they arrived. He listened carefully when the shepherd told him the story. ‘We’ve argued about this gold since we found it,’ said the shepherd. ‘Please help us.’

Then one of the students suggested that they should use the money to create a garden with a lot of trees and flowers where poor people can go to eat fruit, drink clear water and rest. Everybody liked the idea.

They gave the gold to the student and asked him to go to the city and buy the most wonderful seeds for the garden.

He saw the city gates. He found his way to the market in the city centre.

There were a lot of merchants selling fruits, vegetables, carpets and animals
