One day， a dog meets his friend， a little sheep. The sheep is sitting by the river. He is looking at himself in the water. He is crying. The dog asks，” What’s wrong?”

“Look at me!” the sheep says sadly. Then he cries more loudly. “People cut my wool. They cut my wool every spring because I am a sheep.”
