9. I’m Waiting for You

It was a nice spring day.

The wind was gentle and the sky was blue.

Little Sheep Carl lay on the green grass and looked at the sky.

There was a beautiful white cloud.

The cloud was funny. Sometimes it was a rabbit; sometimes it was a deer. Now, it was a sheep!

“Wow! You are so cute! You can play magic!

I’m Carl. Will you be my friend?”

“Of course. I’m Amy.”

From then on, they played together every day.

Sometimes the wind came, and Amy ran away.

Carl ran after her and laughed.

Sometimes Amy kept the strong sunlight away from Carl.

Carl picked a flower and asked a bird to give it to Amy.

Sometimes they had a long talk.

They spoke freely and frankly.

Carl told Amy that Sheep Lily had a cute baby;

Auntie Emily made a beautiful scarf with his wool.

Amy told Carl that yesterday a bird got hurt, and Amy helped him. Days went by and they became close friends.

The happy times flew by and it was now autumn.

On a dry afternoon, all the sheep were having a nap.

Suddenly, the farm caught fire and Carl got stuck!

Help! Help!

The fire got bigger and bigger.

Just then,

a beautiful white cloud rushed over and became darker and darker. Soon rain dropped and put out the fire.

Carl was saved.

The next morning, Carl ran to the field.

He couldn’t wait to tell his story to his friend, but he only saw some birds flying in the clear blue sky.

“Amy, Amy... Where are you?”

Carl couldn’t find Amy.

The Sheep family had to move because of the fire. Carl made a straw sheep and put a note on it.

Amy,

We are moving to Green Farm.

I’m waiting for you there.

Carl
