[Ag-eq] The sheep

[Jewel]

Do you recall my olympic long-jumping ewe?
My homehelp came in 2 Thursdays ago and said that one of my sheep was hanging from the top of one of
my fences.
Evidence suggested that she:  the sheep, not my homehelp: had attempted to hurdle the fence by
making a gigantic leap of 3 metres [10 feet] from the top of the floodbank and, if it had not been
for the fact that one of her hindlegs passed through between the two top wires , would have made it.
In these technological days when people, with their Smart/iPhones, snap off photos of
anything/everything without a moment's hesitation, it occured to me, a week too late, that I should
have taken a photo of the suspended sheep before she was cut free.
When I thought of it last night, I had to resist the temptation to hang her up again so that I could
take a, what would have been, quite a dramatic photo:  * that is, * dramatic in my quiet corner of
a, singularly, troublous and disconvovulated planet!
