Once upon a time, there were two sheep. One was a small sheep ...

so
small (separate hands to show size). It has a soft voice ... baa! The other was
a big sheep ... so big (stretch arms to show size). It has a loud voice ... BAA!
The two sheep are brothers.

Every day, Big Sheep and Small Sheep would go out to

the fields to play together and to look for grass to eat.
One morning, as always, the two sheep went out. Big
Sheep and Small Sheep gambolled out to the fields to
look for grass to eat ... (Get the children to gambol together "to

the fields.") Now it has not been raining for many days and most of the
grass had dried up.

Big Sheep and Small Sheep gambolled for a long time but they could
not find any green grass to eat. They were getting tired. Their feet
were tired and they could no longer gambol. So they walked ... (Get the

children to drag their feet on the ground.) Big Sheep and Small Sheep walked
and walked from morning until afternoon but there were no green
grass. As far as they could see all the green grass had become brown.

The sun was getting hotter. Big Sheep and Small Sheep were tired,
hungry and thirsty ... (Get the children to stick out their tongues and pant.) But
Big Sheep and Small Sheep continued walking and soon they came to a
river. They lowered their heads and lapped up some water with their
tongue ... (demonstrate how this is done).

When Big Sheep lifted his head, he saw a small green patch under a
tree. He gambolled over to the tree. It was a patch of green grass.
"BAA, BAA!" he shouted to Small Sheep to come over. Both Big Sheep
and Small Sheep were very excited. But the small patch of grass was a
very small patch ... it was just enough for one sheep. What should they
do? (Pause) Who should eat the small batch of green grass? (Pause)
"BAA, BAA! Go ahead and eat it. I am not very hungry" said Big Sheep
and he began to move away. "Baa! Let us share the green grass" said
Small Sheep. So Big Sheep and Small Sheep shared the small patch of
small grass. They were very happy and they gambolled all the way
home ... (Get the children to hold hands and gambol "all the way home.")

Big Sheep found the green grass and he could have

eaten the grass all by himself. But Big Sheep was
generous to let Small Sheep eat the small patch of
green grass. Small Sheep was also sharing ... he
shared the green grass with Big Sheep. Small Sheep loves Big Sheep
and Big Sheep loves Small Sheep.

PART 2

United we stand
As they were gambolling home, a big bad wolf was following them. The
big bad wolf had not eaten for many days and he was very hungry. He
wants to eat both Big Sheep and Small Sheep.

Suddenly, he pounced on both Big Sheep and Small Sheep and started
to attack them with his sharp claws. "Run!" shouted Big Sheep to Small
Sheep. Small Sheep ran as fast as he could while Big Sheep tried to
knock the big bad wolf with his head. But the big bad wolf was too
strong for Big Sheep.

Small Sheep ran back to Big Sheep and now both Big Sheep and Small
Sheep tried to knock the big bad wolf with their heads. Two sheep
were attacking the big bad wolf at the same time and from different
directions. Small Sheep attacked on the left and Big Sheep attacked
on the right. (Hold up a big pillow against your chest and have the children take turns
to butt their heads against the pillow.)

Together Big Sheep and Small Sheep were stronger than

the big bad wolf. So the big bad wolf .... all the way home.
Big Sheep and Small Sheep took care of each other. Big Sheep tried to
protect Small Sheep from the big bad wolf. But when the big bad wolf
proved too strong for Big Sheep, Small Sheep returned to help. United
Big Sheep and Small Sheep were strong.

Our Protector
The big bad wolf went and called his other wolf friends to help. So a
whole pack of three wolves came and pounced upon Big Sheep and Small
Sheep. Big Sheep and Small Sheep tried to fight with the wolves but
there were too many of them. "Run and get help" shouted Big Sheep to
Small Sheep. Small Sheep ran toward home as fast as he could.

Meanwhile, the Shepherd heard the noises. When he saw Small Sheep
running back alone without Big Sheep, he knew something was wrong.
He picked up his rod and ran towards Small Sheep. He saw the three
wolves attacking Big Sheep. He used his rod to hit the wolves and
chased them away.

Both Big Sheep and Small Sheep were hurt.

The Shepherd picked up Big Sheep and lifted
him up to his shoulders then he carried Small
Sheep in his arms. He brought them home and
put medicine on their wounds. The Shepherd
took good care of Big Sheep and Small Sheep.

Whenever Big Sheep and Small Sheep have

troubles, the Shepherd is always there to help them. Jesus is our
Shepherd and He will always take care of us.
