The below is a report I made for a Newletter I am part of (called Sewing Club Newsletter. My friends and I put it together. We make knit, crochet, and jewelry wear and then sell it. About a three weeks ago the other girls asked me to make a short story for it. So, here you go):
The Report:
So, I have you heard the rumor about why Sewing Club’s yarn supplies suddenly dropped? No? Well, let me enlighten you:
Of late, Sewing Club has been buying yarn from Trishbob Linguinno, who makes it from her herd of sheep.
But, about a week ago, the below happened, shortening Trishabob’s sheep supply:
Sheep, and the deep dark hole:
Two men had been walking in the woods near the Linguinno farm, when they came across a big, deep hole.
The first guy said, "Wow...that looks deep."
His friend replied, "Sure does... toss a few pebbles in there and see how deep it is."
They picked up a few pebbles, threw them in and waited... no noise.
The first guy whistled, "Wow. That is really deep... here…throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise." So they picked up a couple football-sized rocks, tossed them into the hole and waited... and waited.
Nothing. Looking at one another, their eyes widened in amazement. The second guy set his jaw with determination and said, "Hey...over there in the weeds, there's a railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss that baby in, it's gotta make some noise." Nodding with satisfaction at their own, long thought out plan, the two men dragged the heavy tie over to the hole and heaved it in. But not a sound came from the hole.
Then suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a group of sheep appeared, running like the wind. They were staggering and tripping over each other. The beasts rushed toward the two men and ran right past them, going as fast as their legs would allow. Then, tumbling and moaning, they leaped into the deep, dark hole.
The two men blinked from one another to the hole and back again in astonishment. Not a moment later, out from the bushes, came Trishabob. Seeing them, she sprinted over and said,
“Hey... you two guys seen my sheep out here?”
“You bet we did!” they answered, “Craziest thing we’ve ever seen! It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!
“Nah,” said Trishabob, “That couldn't have been my sheep. My sheep were chained to a railroad tie.”
:D
*Just a note: This is a completely fictional story.
