Across the land
a spring breeze begins to blow
wildflowers sprouting up
giving the landscape a colorful glow
An impavid sheep
seeks a vestige treat
another sheep opposes him
giving a warning bleat
Each sheep runs
eager to win the prize
the sun is glaring
causing blindness in the eyes
The prize is close to a ravine
one sheep miscalculates a step
splashing into the water
fortunately a shallow depth
The other sheep
gathers the prize
finding a place alone
thinking he is wise
The sheep in the ravine
bleats for the shepherd to come
he is saved
feeling foolish for what he has done
The impavid sheep
eating the prize alone
spies a bear
close to where he roams
The bear approaches
the sheep drops his treat
calling for the shepherd
with a desperate bleat
The shepherd gathers him
making it safely back
sheep realizing now
courage he lacked
The treat was worth it
the sheep would risk it again
knowing the shepherd will protect
him through thick and thin
