The Black Sheep

Friday Fictioneers-16 MAY 2014/ The Black Sheep

The story begins after the rhyme.

(Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

One for the master,
One for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane)
The Black Sheep

The sheep owner was very angry because how could a sheep decide whom to give the wool even if it was her wool, wasn’t he the master. For him and for the dame was okay as he could certainly extract some favor from the dame but what could a poor boy give him in return.  No one but the black one dared to answer differently. Other sheep always responded by answering that the master has all the right to decide. So he locked the black sheep in the barn. No one knows what happened to that kind of considerate black sheep.
