The Stranger

Marcus Lacewell

There once was a lamb that was on his way to church. There were many paths in front of his house, but he knew which one to take, for he made this journey many times.

On his way, he saw an odd looking stranger. The stranger was on the side of the road with a broken wagon, full of rum. "Do you need help sir," said the lamb. "Yes, my wagon has broken down," said the stranger. The lamb stopped and helped. The stranger thanked him by giving him a bag of candy. The lamb continued on his journey, while eating the candy.

The lamb began to feel dizzy. When he reached the path’s end, there was a house instead of the church. The lamb knocked on the door. The stranger opened the door. "Do you need help sir," said the stranger. "Yes, I'm trying to get to church," said the lamb. "Oh. Ok. Come on in and I'll help you," said the stranger. The lamb sat down. As the dizziness wore off, he stared at the stranger. It was a WOLF, preparing to eat him.
