The trick Lamb
There once lived a white lamb on a small island. One
day, when he was on the beach, he saw a large island in the distance.
“There must be a lot of good fresh grass on that
island. But how can I go to it without a boat?” while he was thinking about
what to do a big
shark swam
close to the beach. The lamb saw the shark and called to him. “Hello, Mr.
Shark, you look a clever fellow. Do you think there are more sharks than lambs
in this world?”
“We would have to count them to find that out,”
answered the shark.
“Well,” said the lamb, “You line up your sharks
between this island and that one and I’ll count them.”
“Very well,” said the shark, and he called to all of
his friends to come and float side by side between the two islands. When they
were ready, the lamb jumped from one shark to the next counting them. “One,
two, three …..” he had almost reached the other island when he laughed and said
without thinking, “You stupid shark! What is the use of counting you? I only
wanted to cross over to this island.”
At once, the sharks were very angry because they did
not like being cheated. They began to bite the white lamb who asked them to
forgive him. Finally they let go but all of his lovely white fur was torn off.
His skin was bare.
He sat down and cried. Soon three men came along and
asked him why he was crying. The lamb told them what had happened. The men
looked at each other and then one of them said, “The best thing you can do is
to wash yourself in the sea and then let the sun dry you. Your wounds will heal
and your white fur will grow again.”
The lamb ran back to the sea and then sat in the sun.
But his skin was only more painful. It began to hurt so badly that he cried
out, “Who will save my life? Help! Help!”
A young man, who was coming along the road, stopped
when he heard the lamb crying. “What has happened to you, Lamb?”
He asked. He felt sorry for the lamb. The poor
creature could not stop crying and told his story as the tears ran down his
face. The young man was annoyed when he heard how the lamb had been treated.
“The three men did not give you good advice. Please forgive them. I’ll help
you. Now, go and wash your body in fresh river water and I’ll get a bed ready
for you.”
The lamb did as he was told and returned to rest on
the soft grass bed which the young man had made ready for him. The poor lamb
rested and was warm and comfortable. His white fur grew again. He was so happy
that he did not try to cheat anyone again.
