Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there lived a little sheep named Sad. Sad was always, well, sad. She didn't have any friends and she didn't like to play. All she did was walk around the meadow feeling sorry for herself.

One day, while she was out for a walk, she met a friendly ham named Ham. Ham was always happy and loved to make new friends. He saw that Sad was feeling down and asked her what was wrong. Sad told him that she didn't have any friends and that no one liked her.

Ham was determined to help Sad. He invited her to come to his house for a jam making party. Sad was hesitant at first, but Ham was so kind and friendly that she decided to give it a try.

When Sad arrived at Ham's house, she saw that he had invited all of his friends, including a ram named Ram, and a dam named Dam. They were all so welcoming and friendly that Sad felt more at ease than she ever had before.

As they all made jam together, Sad began to realize that she had been wrong about herself. She was not a lonely and unlikable sheep, she was just shy and needed a little push to make new friends.

From that day on, Sad was no longer sad. She was happy and had many new friends who loved and accepted her for who she was. She even started to enjoy making jam with her new friends.

Moral of the story is that sometimes, all it takes is a little kindness and a new experience to change our perspective and see the world in a different light.
