Chris, that's a great story,
Sounds like it would make a good childrens book. Easy for young minds to comprehend, and a good enough lesson for adults to like it. I might have to print it out and add it to the night time reading list.

Kind of rings with the echo of the old saying.

I was thinking about this story, and wanted to bring it back to the front page for some of the newer members.
A great read.
Thanks again Chris for posting this.

Great story, and thank you for bumping it back up again. I had not seen it.

Still a great piece, though.

This is a story about sheep. Sheep seem to have the ability to enjoy being victims. So very sad.
