Shepherd Rivalry

I ventured off the farm to take a short lunch break today, minus my identification badge. A genial man asked if I knew the village well. I replied that I knew it fairly well and asked him where he was looking for. He said that he was not looking for anywhere, he thought I looked lost.

This encounter worried me. I was cast into the role of a worried sheep by this man's presumption of being a shepherd. I was worried by the competition of having another shepherd in the village. In future, I think I should not venture out without my official badge to avoid any misunderstandings or unpleasantness.
