FAIRY TALES I

THE BLACK SHEEP FINALY

The little sheep was overcome with immense joy

Every step he took he took with pride

He wondered how he was the knot that tied everyone together

He thought and thought

Then suddenly he stumbled

Before he lost his footing he controlled himself and straighthen himself

He found that what made him stumble was a fuzzy looking thing

As he got closer he found that it wasn't just a fuzzy thing it was a little cub

He tried to run back the other way but behind him was the mother lion

He went back to the fuzzy cub and tried to cover himself

The little cub wanted to play

So it played with the sheep

The sheep decided to play along and found that the little cub just wanted a friend like he wanted to get along with everyone

The mother watched and almost wanted to make the little sheep into it's meal

As she watched she found that her little cub deserved a friend

She let them play

When the day started to darken she asked the little sheep if he wanted to keep playing with her cub

He happily agreed to play again

As days passed both friends grew closer but no one knew

It was a secret that only the three of them knew

Then one day with all the sheep a murmur began

They all whispered of how a tiger appeared and wanted a meal

They all said they should turn in the black sheep

They all gathered and rounded up to give the black sheep to the tiger

The black sheep wanted to run

But it was trapped

Then out of nowhere the lioness struck some of the sheep away to reach the sheep

Everyone grew in fear and placed their head down on the ground

The lioness then spoke

Don't you see he is like you

The only difference is that he has a heart and your hearts are all cold

Where you think of your safety he thought of you all

His kindness to be my son's friend is what is stopping me from tearing all of you to shreds right now

They all shook in fear and looked at the sheep

They couldn't keep their eyes on the sheep because they knew they were evil

They thought of themselves before anything

That day everyone grew still and everyone stopped and understood that they all deserved an opportunity to be a part of their family

Family isn't just blood and it isn't just some

That day when the sheep spoke everyone listened

He then said I've been among you for all of my life but none of you have been a part of mine but I know that together we can be better

Color doesn't make us different

None of the sheep spoke because they all knew that what the sheep said was true

They saw the difference because that's what they chose to see

There hearts opened up and from that day on everyone was included

They made the sheep the main sheep

If problems came up the sheep would find a solution

The sheep thought

If he would never had stumbled into the cub he wouldn't have been protected by the lioness

He then grew a big smile and knew that the pixie was right

Everything can turn and be better or there can be a good ending at the end

But that only works if the heart doesn't turn cold and fills up with pride and ego

Patience is a virtue
