"I'm puzzled to-night," he began. "I never thought of it before."
"What is it?" Douglas questioned.
"You see that lamb?"
"Yes."
"It's in danger, isn't it?"
"It certainly is."
"And it wants to be helped, and saved? See how its head is raised, and it seems so glad that the Shepherd has come to rescue it."
"Is there anything puzzling about that?"
"Ah, but suppose that lamb didn't want to be helped, and held back, no matter how hard the Shepherd pleaded, what then?"
"He was strong enough to lift it up bodily and carry it back to the fold, was He not?"
