Mordred Magpie

There is a field next to my house, with sheep everywhere and the odd mouse. A year ago there were two Herdwick Sheep in that field, only two. My girlfriend and I named Stewy & Simon. I later found out they were females.

One day on a walk through there with my very mad Cocker Spaniel, I spotted a Magpie following Stewy & Simon about! Hopping onto Stewy's back and pulling loose wool away... he stayed for a few weeks, so I decided it was only right to give him a name, like I did for the sheep. So I named him Mordred.

A short story about kindness, and giving, not always in the hopes of receiving.

Instead of passing your jacket over to your date even though they never said they were cold...and then unnecessarily shivering for the next hour...pass it onto a sheep.
