A boy was one day walking in a field at the foot of a hill， when he saw a sheep coming towards him．

The poor sheep came running up quite close to him.She then went on a few steps, at the same time turning round, and looking up in the boy 's face,and bleating（咪咪叫）loudly.

The boy had never seen a sheep act in this way before．and wishing to find out what the sheep wanted， he began to follow her across the field．

On and on she went， every now and then turning round to see if the boy was coming．

At last， she led the way to a place where there was a running river， and a deep pool of water．

As soon as the boy came to this place， he saw a baby sheep trying in vain （徒劳地） to get out．It had fallen over the bank into the pool below．

The poor mother sheep must have known that better help that she could give was needed to save her little one．

From the bank， the boy found that he could just reach the baby sheep．

He soon caught hold of it， and lifted it up on the bank．The mother sheep seemed greatly pleased to have her little one again beside her．
