    Passage: Read the passage from "The Goatherd and the Wild Goats."

    A goatherd, driving his flock from their pasture at eventide, found some Wild Goats mingled among them, and shut them up together with his own for the night. The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: "That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves."

    Answer: Good leaders treat everyone the same.

    Explanation:

    In this passage, we can see a situation with the man who treated wild goats better than his own goats. He did that because he wanted to see how they will act and if they would stay with him as the leader.

    Those wild goats who had better treatment than the others had left him because he treated them better than his own goats who were with him a long time. The wild goats showed to him that he would do the same thing to them if they were his goats and the other wild come as they did.

    The goatherd is not showed as the good leader in this passage because he was not trustworthy and that is showing that the great and good leader will do the opposite thing, he would treat everyone the same.
