FAIRY TALES I

THE BLACK SHEEP

Up on a hill stood a little black sheep

All the sheep's we're a type of white color

What was different about this sheep, but it's coat

The rest of the sheep gathered together and ate together

But because of it's color the little sheep was chased away

The little sheep cried and cried that no one would go near it

Was he that different he thought?

Would he contaminate the rest?

Every tear it dropped hurt his little heart

Even his mother looked away

Then one day early in the morning he saw a glittering light flutter in- front of him

He followed the glimmer and ended up in a small cave behind the hill

He didn't know if he should go inside or to wait outside

He decided to go in and find out what was the glimmer

As he went in he found a little pixie

When the pixie saw him she asked him what he was doing there

He was surprised that she even spoke to him and he didn't want to say a word

What could she do for him?

His silence said a lot

The little pixie fluttered closer and tried to get a closer look at him as she did she found that he was unique

His color stood out but not only that his heart shined brightly

So she spoke

Did you know that it's not your color everyone fears you for?

Did you know that it's not because of your difference that they can't be with you?

It's also not because of how you appear

It's because they can't see that you one day will turn to something that they won't be able to look at because you were made special

You were chosen to lead

You are what knots everyone together

Sometime in the present everyone will see

Their eyes will see

Their minds will open

And there hearts will open

And it's all because of you

All you can do now is just be you

You are something grander than what meets the eye

Even you will be surprised at yourself

Now go back and be you

To be continued
