The Sheep Get Shorn-Tristan Age 5
For a moment, Tristan just stands there, stunned, his mouth a big O. He hasn’t lived long, but he has existed long enough to know that this sort of thing wasn’t supposed to happen. Talking owls, mice, etc.
But he frantically repeats the owl’s instructions to himself, over and over again. They seem terribly important, and he is fascinated. Could there be another life at the end of this? A more dangerous life, perhaps… but one that promises more than a meager life of farm drudgery?
As soon as he’s confident he’ll remember the owl’s advice, he returns to the garden and hunts for the storied fourth turnip. He’ll try to dig it up when he finds it, but first he’ll check to make sure he isn’t being watched.
Then crawl inside his sack… you’ll find your sister there. He wonders what that means…
