LESSON XXXV.
THE WAYS OF THE SHEEP.
1. Sheep appear very helpless, but when they run wild they know how to take care of themselves very well.
2. They butt with their heads, and the large, old rams will run very fast, and strike a fearful blow.
3. When a flock of wild sheep is feeding, one is placed at some distance out on each side, to keep watch.
4. If an enemy is seen, the guards give a kind of whistle, and the whole flock scuds away to the rocks on the mountain.
5. If they can not get away, they place the lambs in the center of the flock, and the old sheep face outward, the biggest rams in advance.
