Explanation:

This story shows us the goatherd's greed. He wanted to attract new goats to his herd which is why he fed them abundantly at the expense of his own, old goats. His old goats got just enough food to survive, whether the wild goats were given loads of food. In the end, the wild goats escaped and his own goats didn't appreciate him anymore. The moral of the story is that you should treat everyone equally and not be biased towards one side more than the other. It is a good message for young children to follow.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
