"Mary and Little Lamb" by M. Mockeridge

Mary had a little lamb.

A little lamb?

A little lamb.

Are you sure?

Of course I am, why else would I say it.

So, anyway, Mary had this little lamb, and he followed her to school one day. Now, Little Lamb didn’t mean to cause any trouble by it, but, unfortunately, bringing unauthorized pets onto school property was against the rules, and Mary was given a detention, while Little Lamb was merely shooed away.

Needless to say, Mary was upset with Little Lamb. After all, she hadn’t instructed him to follow her to school, he had snuck in behind her. She had done nothing wrong, but was being punished.

Little Lamb was heart-broken that he had caused his master such strife, and decided to seek revenge for his sorrow on the woman who had issued the unfair punishment. Little Lamb followed Mary’s teacher home that day.

He hid in the bushes of her cottage until he was sure she had retreated for the night. Then, he set to work on his horrendous deed.

He bomb-barded the house with eggs and laced the tree with toilet paper. To top it all off, he painted a very rude word on the teacher’s carriage. When he had finished, her tidy little home was unrecognizable.

While this was obviously wrong, it should be noted that this is quite an incredible feet for a creature with no opposable thumbs.

When Little Lamb returned home, he decided to make Mary an apology cake. This also, should be admired, for not only did he lack the proper appendages to hold a spoon, but he also had the I.Q. of a toaster oven.

Now, Mary couldn’t stay mad at her barnyard friend forever, so she accepted his apology and they were best friends yet again.. Unfortunately, she fell into a bad crowd a few months later and landed herself in rehab.

Little Lamb got his own cooking show called “Cooking with Lamb”. It’s success was short lived as it was canceled due to complaints that the show’s title was misleading. The show offered all vegetarian recipes.

As for the teacher, she invented a new cleaning solution whilst wiping the eggs from her windows and made millions.

And they all lived happily ever after...........sort of.

THE END.
