A rancher raised many sheep. His neighbor was a hunter, and kept a pack of fierce hounds in his yard.
The hounds often jumped over the fence and attacked the lambs in the pasture.
Several times the rancher asked the hunter to keep the dog, but the hunter did not agree and promised, but a few days later, his hunting dog jumped into the pasture and rushed into the field, biting several sheep. The unbearable rancher asked the town judge to judge. Hearing his complaint, the reasonable judge said, "I can punish the hunter, or I can issue a decree to make him lock up the dog. But then you lose a friend and gain an enemy. "Neighbors with friends, of course." "Said the rancher. "Well, I'll advise you to do as I tell you. Not only will your sheep be safe from disturbance, but you'll have a friendly neighbor." The judge said so. The rancher says yes. As soon as they got home, the farmer chose the three sweetest lambs as the judge had told him, and gave them to the hunter's three sons. Seeing the white and meek lamb, the children are like treasure, every day after school to play with the little lamb in the yard. For fear that the dogs should hurt their sons!
The lamb and the hunter made a big iron cage and locked the dog up. Since then, the rancher's sheep have never been disturbed. In return for the rancher's kindness, the hunters began to send him game of all kinds. Gradually the two became good friends. The best way to persuade a man is to think for him, so that he can benefit from it. "To persuade a person, the best thing to do is to do what's best for him, let him can also benefit from it", many quotes are simple and understandable, but to use in the life of the things to still need to practice, after all, when if shit I met such a neighbor, angry heart often obscures the wisdom, and make the people choose to hurt each other for the way to solve problems.
