                            the                              lived by himself in a large                                  .  He spent the days walking back and forth from the shade                              to the                             to drink water.  In between, he grazed on the sweet green                         . At night,                                led                              back to the                               , where he enjoyed a nice large sack of                               before going to sleep.      One day, as                               was busy grazing on the                                in the                                 under the shade                              ,                                 brought a surprise into the                                .                              couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw that                                    had brought another                             into his                                 .

                             was not as happy because the other                               was to be eating the sweet green                               .                              tried to stay away from the other                             , but wherever he went the                               followed.                               was not happy to share his                               of cool                               or the shade from his                             .      That night,                                  led                             and the other                               into the                              .                               was happy that he didn’t have to share the  same stall and was relieved that they each got their own bag of                              .      As                             stuck his nose into his bag of                              , the bag began to tear, and ALL of the                             fell to the ground where                              could not reach it.

                            was sad, frustrated, and hungry! Just then, the other                                   invited                              to share his bag of                              .                                    was grateful to have some grain and felt bad because he had not  been as generous earlier in the                                .                              now saw that it was valuable to have friends, and he was happy that there was another                                 to spend time with.
