A shepherd named Magnes living in Greece used to take his herd of sheep and goats on a mountain for grazing. He always carried a stick to control his herd. The stick had a small piece of iron attached to one end. One day, he had to pull hard to free his stick from a rock on the mountain side.  The rock was a natural magnet and the stick got attracted to it. One of the important properties of a magnet is that a freely suspended magnet always rests in the same direction.
