“Sheep & Goat” Marleen Westera
“What are you doing?” asks Goat.
“I’m looking for happiness,” answers Sheep.
“Don’t waste your time, Sheep. Happiness will find you.”
“Help me look!” shouts Sheep.
“No, I’m much too comfortable here,” says Goat.
“Then I’ll look by myself. But if I find happiness, I’m going to keep it,” says Sheep.
“Well, did you find happiness?” asks Goat.
“I thought I had. But I was wrong. I’m sorry.”
“That’s all right, Sheep,” says Goat. “Would you like a mouthful of hay? It’s a little dry today.”
“It doesn’t matter,” says Sheep.
She takes a big bite. It is dry, and a little dusty. But it tastes like happiness.
