On
a day of hot blistering summer days and after a hard day in the grazing sheep my brother
and I return back to the house just a few minutes before sunset. We had to herd
sheep all day long; we were young in the early days of adolescence; our house
was a little bit far from the neighbours, the closest to our house was 500
meters.
We
drove the sheep to the byre, which was 200 meters away from the house and then
we came back and had dinner then my father came and asked about the sheep and
how it was today? there was not much to tell him and then he went himself to
inspect the sheep, and the surprise was that he returned quickly asking where
are the sheep? Where are the sheep? They are not in their place, and then he
asked did you close the entryway too well? The answer came quickly from us at the
same time yes yes we did.
My
father said; then come out with me to look around the house, they should still
be close. It was dim dark, and then my mom said they’re young, how can they get out
at this time? this was the kind of clash between my father and mother because
of us, however, we came out and began to look for sheep, it was extremely dull and dark, my father went to the neighbours asking for help and they started a search
immediately after they heard and then after about 2 hours time of the search and pursuit; we
found the sheep in the land of one of our neighbours was a large farm, and then
from that on we had sheep placed too close to our home.
