Once upon a time, there was a sheep who loved to sleep a lot. Every night, she would wander off into the fields and lay down in a cozy bed of soft wool. One night, as she was snuggling into her comfy bed, she heard a strange noise. It was a soft purring sound, like a cat! She looked around but couldn't see anything. She thought to herself, "I wonder what that could be?"

The next night, the same purring sound woke her up. This time, she decided to go on a little adventure to find out where the sound was coming from. She wandered through the fields and finally found a tiny kitten who was lost. The kitten was so happy to see the sheep, and it started to purr even more.

The sheep took the kitten back to her flock, and they all welcomed the new friend with lots of love and cuddles. From that day on, the sheep and the kitten were the best of friends and would always sleep together, snuggled up in a big pile of wool. And every night, they would listen to the purring of the happy kitten and wonder at the magic of their friendship.

Reflections

1. Why did the sheep go on an adventure to find the source of the purring sound?
2. How did the sheep's flock react when they saw the kitten?
3. What was special about the friendship between the sheep and the kitten?
4. Can you think of any other animals that might have become friends in a similar way?
5. Do you think it's important to be kind to animals, even if they're different from us? Why or why not?
