Lesson 16 Mary had a little lamb
Mary and her husband Dimitri lived in the tiny village of Perachora in southern Greece. One of Mary?s possessions was a little white lamb which her husband had given her. She kept it tied to a tree in a field during the day and went to fetch it every evening. One evening, however, the lamb was missing. The rope had been cut, so it was obvious that the lamb had been stolen.
When Dimitri came in from the fields, his wife told him what had happened.
Dimitri at once set out to find the thief. He knew it would not prove difficult in such a small village. After telling several of his friends about the thief, Dimitri found out that his neighbour, Aleko, had suddenly acquired a new lamb. Dimirti immediately went to Aleko?s house and angrily accused him of stealing the lamb. He told him he had better return it or he would call the police. Aleko denied talking it and led Dimitri into his backyard. I was true that he had just bought a lamb, he explained, but his lamb was black. Ashamed of having acted so rashly, Dimitri apologized to Aleko for having accused him. While they were talking it began to rain and Dimitri stayed in Aleko?s house until the rain stopped. When he went outside half an hour later, he was astonished to
find that the little black lamb was almost white. Its wool, which had been dyed black, had been washed clean by the rain!
