                   Down by the                                 there was a cozy little farm where a                                 kept a large flock of snowy white                               .  Within this flock  grazed a very shy black                                  named                                   .                                      spent most of the day hiding down by the                                 behind some                                 . He didn’t like being with the other   because they made fun of his being so scared and shy all the time. One day a little girl named                         was wandering by the                             , collecting                           .

She spotted                                   hiding behind the                                  and started to run over to him.  As she was running,                                                                became untied. She quickly tripped and fell into the water.  Just as she did a emerged and bgan to swim rapidly toward                            .      All this time,                                  had been watching what was happening to                             .  He was very worried about what the                                 was going  to do once he got                                    .

                                        thought quickly and grabbed, from behind the                               , an old                                    he used to keep warm on cold days.  He threw the                                to                              and pulled her to                                  just as the                                     was about to attack.      Once she was safe on                                 ,                             gave     a big hug and thanked him for saving her life.  She said, “You are the bravest in the world!” and ran off to tell the                                 what happened.              
     Just then,                                     realized that he didn’t need to feel shy and afraid anymore.  He quickly ran back to the rest of the                                 , who had just heard the news.  They never teased                                    again.
