Leaving The 99
Up on the meadow he watched over his sheep, it had been a long day and
he decided to sleep. Awoken by surprise when he heard the wolfs cry, he
searched through the sheep and then he realized why. One was missing and he
knew where it was, so he went out looking, leaving the 99 with cause. As he
climbed the hills he could hear the sheep bleating, he knew he was close, he
could feel his heart beating. He came to the den, the intentions were clear, so
he rounded his staff striking the wolf across the ear. Without hesitation and
while the wolf was knocked out, he picked up his sheep and left before another
bout. Back to the meadow he carried the sheep, its leg had been broken and, on
his shoulders, he carried the heap. So glad he was to find the one lost, he
bound up his wounds not considering the cost. He led it to water and a full
patch of green grass, happy to have it home and for the night to finally pass.
