Many years ago there was a very good natured sheep who had a very bad start
in life. This is her story as to how she turned her life around; simply by
being pleasant and respectful to all those who she encountered during her long
journey through life. Annie’s life got off to a bad start when her mother died
whilst giving birth to her. Annie was also very unfortunate in that when she
joined the flock, the leader at that time was a very nasty ewe called Queenie
who bullied her mercilessly.
Besides having to cope with Queenie’s bullying ways, Annie also had to cope
with the farmers’ sheepdog called Sabre as well. He was very similar to Queenie
in being another very nasty character. It was as a result to Sabres’ bad
attitude that Annie eventually got her big breaks in life, and so ultimately she
had a lot to thank him for.
This particular story aims to show that where we get off to a bad start in
life, either because we are bullied, abused or we handicapped in some way during
our early years, things can still come good for us in the end. The things Annie
achieved looked impossible during her early days and yet by keeping calm in the
face of adversity and in having faith that things will get better she was able
to turn her life around.
