The Sheep and the Goats

The story of the sheep and the goats is from the Bible. It is a parable, which is a story with a moral lesson. In this parable, a shepherd (a person who looks after sheep) separates the sheep from the goats. At the end of the parable, the sheep are on one side and the goats are on the other side. The moral of the parable is that good people will be rewarded and bad people will be punished. The sheep represent people who are good and kind, while the goats represent people who are bad and dishonest.
