罗素睡不着
Russell the sheep
Russell the sheep lived in Frogsbottom field.
At the end of a long busy day...
...night fell and the sheep got ready for bed.
soon all was quiet.Except for...
...ressell.
No matter how hard he tried, Russell could not fall asleep.
“Maybe if it were really dark,”he thought,“I’d be able to sleep.” But the really dark really scared him.
“Perhaps I’m too hot,”he thought. “Perhaps I’m not.”
Russell pulled up a pillow… but the pillow hopped away… hopping mad!
“Maybe I need a better place to sleep,” he decided ,and went for a walk.
Russell spied the boot of the rusty car. It was too cramped!
He tried the hollow of a tree. That was too creepy!
Russell even tried sleeping on a branch. But it was too crowded!
WHAT’S A SHEEP TO DO!
Russell thought he would never get to sleep. But then he had a brilliant idea.
What if he tried to count things? That would make him fall asleep.
Russel counted his feet. One…two…three…four. Not tired. “Hmmm,. I guess I need more feet,” he decided. “What next?”
The stars! Russell counted each and every one. One…two…three…four…five…six hundred million billion and ten. And russell was wide awake!
He counted them again…six hundred million billion and ten! And still wide awake!
Russell thought very hard. In fact, he thought so hard, hishat went ziggy-zaggy! “ I know,”he shouted. “I’ll count sheep!”
One…two…three…four…five…six…
seven…eight…nine… “still awake,” he said and sighed. Then Russell realised he had forgotten to count one very important little sheep…
…himself! “Ten!”
Russell felt a tickle , then a twitch, and then…sound asleep.
By now it was morning, and all the other sheep in the field began getting ready for the new day.
Soon everyone was up. Everyone that is, except for…
…Russell.
