1.Have you ever seen a flock of sheep feeding in the fields？They never stray far from one another.If a dog barks at them they all run close together.
2.Sheep are good climbers.We may often see them feeding far up on the hills.
3.In the month of May it is pretty to watch the little white lambs beside their mothers.They play and frisk about all day long.
4.In summer，when it is ver y warm，the sheep have to get their heavy coats of wool cut off.Then the shepherds are kept very busy.
5.With the help of their dogs，they gather all their sheep together in a place called a sheep-pen.The lambs are left outside，and bleat very sadly.They think that they have lost their mothers.
6.The sheep are washed one by one；and then the wool is cut off with big shears.This is called sheep-shearing.
7.The wool is made into cloth；so it is from the sheep that we get our warm winter clothing.
