Once upon a time there was a sheep who wanted to go on a boat ride. He put on his favorite jacket and hopped into a car heading to the dock. When he arrived, he saw that everyone on the boat was dressed up in fancy clothes like dresses and trousers. The sheep felt embarrassed because he was still wearing his jacket, so he tried to hide. Suddenly, the boat hit a rough patch, and the sheep's jacket flew off! Everyone on the boat laughed at how silly the sheep looked without his jacket. But the sheep didn't mind, he had a great time swimming and jumping off the boat. And from then on, he never felt ashamed to be himself. The end.

• How did the other passengers react to the sheep's appearance?
• What happened to the sheep's jacket during the boat ride?
• How did the sheep feel about not fitting in with the dressed up passengers?
• What lesson did the sheep learn by the end of the story?
