The shepherd lost his sheep. He prayed to God and made a vow that if he found a sheep, he would sacrifice it.
He went in search and found gnawed bones in the field - the sheep had been devoured by a lion.
Seeing this, the shepherd turned his gaze to the sky and said:
“Oh God, I will sacrifice another sheep to you if I can only save my life from the claws of this lion!”
A person is ready to give everything just to get rid of mortal danger.
