BLACK SHEEPi :; (Original, by "Hunca-Munca" (12), Taihape.) ONCE upon a time, long, long ago, all sheep were white, as most of them . ara to-day, and however fa-you travelled you would not find a sincle , , black one,nor even a brown. Now the sheep, like most other people, had.a kmg. This king spent most of his time in solitude, ■ thinking, thinkingrfor he had no sons, and. he was much puzzled as to who should be his heir and reign^in his stead when he became tooold. So much'did he worry about this that he almost. died then and there, leaving no successor, and very much harassing his subjects.' - ■ ■ At last when, he had thought for two-and-a-little-bit ' years without any rQsult^ he,called a council of the Twelve Wisest Sheep to help ■him. Ihe Twelve Wisest Sheep and the King of the sheep sat and thought for another month, and then the King ordered the! others to come forwlrd •■with; suggestions. . j ■ : "You might choose the whitest sheep," said the first •• I \ "Or the fattest," bleated another. ; ; "I think the most popular would.be best," said a third. And so" they went on until they came to the eleventh. . ' • ■ .""Perhaps, you'd better have the wisest," he said rather hopefully . But the Kmg of All Sheep shook his woolly head • ' • Bl „ "B?; a;£ aj'" c sai^-, ',' No! Mv successor must be good and -wisei- but above all things he must be brave. Now how can we find the bravest sheept" Then up. spoke the wisest of all the wise sheep. "Your Ma'iesty " he said with a bow "If. you will allow me to suggest-I think I know" of a .way to find the bravest sheep. Over yonder," he went on, "at the other Sl de.of Your Majesty's fair land, is a beautiful field of the ereenest; grass that was ever seen. You might issue a proclamation^ that the first sheep to bring you a gasket of this grass should be your, heir.- He would surely be the bravest for to do this thing he wbu]d have to pass through down and with another bow the wisest' of the wise sheep .sat __" The very, thing!" exclaimed the King. "You deserve to be made King yourself for that suggestion. But the plan is too good to waste Send out the hcr-jlds at oucc! We'll ha^ e no more delay." And offTcnt the King to make up for all the sleep he had missed, which was quite i lot so no one saw anj thing of him for many a daj ' But all the tune the King was sleeping, many b^-ne sheep had triel -iml filled in the test the King had set them, until at list came one braver than the rest, who had decided to win tho co\cted position or perish in the attempt (To Be Completed ) MtHilliliiimimii| Mmn|m||t)tt |||M|||
