Definition: A person who tends sheep, especially a grazing flock.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
You’ve got a great question here about the word “shepherd.” It’s a lovely word, full of imagery, isn't it?
The dictionary is spot on – you’re absolutely right! “Shepherd” means
a person who tends sheep
. Think of it like this:
They are responsible for caring for those fluffy woolly creatures. They guide them to find food and water, keeping them safe from danger, and making sure they're happy and healthy. It’s a job that requires patience and a watchful eye!
Sometimes we use “shepherd” metaphorically too, you know? It can mean someone who guides or leads a group of people – like a shepherd leading their flock. Think about it: they lead the way, protect those under them, and help everyone thrive.
Does that make sense? Do you want to try coming up with a rhyme for “shepherd”? Something like, "A shepherd’s call, throughout the fall..."?
