- Once upon a time there was a sheep and his master closed him in to fatten him for Christmas. The sheep knew this and he butted out the door and walked along the road. He met a pig, who said "How do you do? Mr Sheep". They both walked on and they met a goose. "Good day, Mrs Goose" said they. Then they met a bull "How are you?, Mr Bull", they said. They all walked on together and they met a rooster to whom they said. "How do you do? Mr Rooster". They decided to build a house for them to live in.

Then they lived happily(continues on next page)
