` But I see it is no fault of yours , and I must put up with my loss as well as I can . Now let us return home , for it is time for supper . Next morning the herdsman said to the young man : ' I have got some other work for you to do . To-day you must take a hundred sheep to graze ; but be careful that no harm befalls them . ' ' I will do my best , ' replied the youth . And he opened the gate of the fold , where the sheep had been all night , and drove them out into the meadow . But in a short time they grew as wild as the pigs had done , and scattered in all directions . The young man could not collect them , try as he would , and he thought to himself that this was the punishment for his laziness in refusing to look after his father 's one cow . At last , however , the sheep seemed tired of running about , and then the youth managed to gather them together , and drove them , as before , straight to his father 's house . ` Whose sheep are these , and what are they doing here ? ' asked the old man in wonder , and his son told him . But when the tale was ended the father shook his head . ` Give up these bad ways and take them back to your master , ' said he . ` No , no , ' answered the youth ; ' I am not so stupid as that ! We will kill them and have them for dinner . ' ` You will lose your life if you do , ' replied the father . ` Oh , I am not sure of that ! ' said the son , ` and , anyway , I will have my will for once . ' And he killed all the sheep and laid them on the grass . But he cut off the head of the ram which always led the flock and had bells round its horns .
This he took back XXXXX the place where they should have been feeding , for here he had noticed a high rock , with a patch of green grass in the middle and two or three thick bushes growing on the edge .
