The yacht stealing sheep and the dog.

Courtesy Walter Ramsey
A very long time ago there was a flock of sheep that took to their mind that they could steal a yacht. They were some daring sheep who gathered round and determined that they had worked hard enough and had a right to party like the nice folk who went out to bay. Meanwhile, a lowly scruffy dog was doing not much of anything except terrorizing the nice folks with yachts and the sheeps both with his yipping and yapping, and would have continued to do so forever until he saw those sheep that had gotten it into their mind to take that yacht out for a spin. Now that dog wisely thought that it would be a great pain for the sheep if their plans were ruined, so he took care to warn the nice folk, and an alarmed, grateful, and guarded party of people devised a great gift of power and praise to bestow on the dog. From that moment on sheep have been herded by dogs and praised for their loyalty, so that the partiers can keep on partying, in peace evermore.
