The Adventures of Marvin

There once was a sheep named Marvin, he was a tricky sheep. Marvin loved impressing his friends with his stories, while they played in the field on the farm. Marvin often told stories of adventures that he never really went on.

One day Marvin told his friend Ducky the duck, “I saved a couple of baby bunnies from a mean fox.”

“Weren’t you scared of the fox?” said Ducky.

“Not at all. In fact, when I showed up, the fox got so scared he ran away with his tail between his legs.” Marvin said in a proud voice. This impressed Ducky very much.

“Wow, you are so brave!” said Ducky, “I wish I could have seen it!”

The next day, Marvin  went up to Doinka the pig and said, “I jumped over that fence yesterday, in one leap.”

The very impressed Doinka then said, “Wow! That’s cool, but I like the mud under the fence much better.”

A sheep named Bahrret had heard what Marvin said and did not believe him. So, Bahrret walked up to them and said to Marvin with an evil smirk, “I do not think you can jump the fence. So show me that you can and jump over that fence, in one leap.”

Marvin got scared, because he had never jumped over any fence before and he did not know how to. Marvin didn’t want Doinka to think he was one of those chickens. So Marvin looked at the fence and took off running towards it.

As he got closer the fence looked higher and higher, but he kept going. He took one big leap . . . and “CRASH!”.

He was stuck on the fence.

He hung there so embarrassed as Bahrret laughed at him.

Doinka and Marvin’s other friends walked away disappointed.

And Marvin was alone.
