Some of the sheep were in pens. Do you know what a pen is?
There was one sheep in each pen.
Henry suddenly realized that in each pen was a baby lamb and in
some pens, there were two lambs, called “twins.”

Henry’s father said it was time for Sucker to go out with the other
sheep into the green, green pastures because it was time for Sucker to eat grass.
So he did. Soon Sucker was eating grass like the
grown-ups. In fact, like a lot of suckers,

Every time Henry would come out to the pasture,
Sucker would go baaaaaaaaa and run to the gate
to meet Henry. He would run his wooly nose
against Henry’s hand and then would skip away to
eat some more grass.
