Once upon a time, there was a farmer who had many sheep. One day, he wanted to count them. He started counting, "One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep, five sheep". But then he got tired and fell asleep. When he woke up, he realized he had forgotten to count the rest of his sheep. So he started counting again, "Six sheep, seven sheep, eight sheep..." and so on. He counted all of his sheep and was happy to see that he had many, many sheep. The end.

Reflections

• How many sheep did the farmer have?
• Why did the farmer fall asleep while counting?
• What happened when the farmer woke up?
• Was the farmer happy with the number of sheep he had? Why or why not?
