"What are you arguing about?" he asked.
"We are arguing about the meaning of life," one of the men said.
"The meaning of life is whatever you make it," the madman said. "There is no one right answer."
The people were shocked by his answer. They had never thought of the meaning of life in that way before.
"But what if I don't know what I want to make of my life?" one of the women asked.
"Then you must find out," the madman said. "The only way to find out what you want to do with your life is to try different things. Don't be afraid to fail. Failure is simply an opportunity to learn."
The people were inspired by the madman's words. They realized that he was right. The meaning of life is whatever you make it. It is up to each individual to decide what they want to do with their lives.

There was once a shepherd who had a flock of sheep. He loved his sheep very much and took good care of them. One day, a storm came and the sheep were scattered.
The shepherd searched for his sheep for days, but he could not find them. He was heartbroken. He had lost everything.
One day, the shepherd was walking through the forest when he came across a group of wolves. The wolves were hungry and they were looking for something to eat.
The shepherd was afraid, but he knew that he had to protect his sheep. He stood in front of the wolves and said, "You cannot eat my sheep. They are mine."
The wolves were surprised by the shepherd's courage. They had never seen a human being stand up to them before.
"Why should we listen to you?" one of the wolves asked.
"Because I am the shepherd," the shepherd said. "And it is my job to protect my sheep."
The wolves were impressed by the shepherd's answer. They realized that he was a true leader. They left the forest and the shepherd was able to find his sheep.
