The Black Lamb

There was a little girl named Suzie that lived on a sheep farm. There was something odd looking in the sheep pen that day. It looked like a lamb, she remembered a story about how once before, a long, long time ago, there was [[Something strange on the farm]]

Suzie curiously entered the sheep pen and much to her surprise laying there in the mud was a black [[Lamb]]

He was caked with mud, at first she was not sure if it was [[Black wool]] or it was the color of the mud.

Even though it was laying in the mud she could see that it was indeed a [[Black sheep]]

Running back to the farm house, she told her dad what she saw, he did not believe her. Suzie insisted her dad wash the mud off and see for himself, if he was black like she thought, he had to have a [[Distinct name]]

Being overly excited by such an unusual sight, his name had to be something pronounced and different from any other name, so she named him [[Onyx]]

He became her best friend. She took him with her [[everywhere]]

Even to church one day where they got [[put out]]

It was like he could not stand being in that closed space. It was not used to being in a building like belonged [[outside]].

Onyx would not keep quiet, whinning constantly, such a funny sounding noise, unlike anything anyone ever [[heard]]

Everyone had turned in the direction of the horrible sound that was coming from the lamb. They were pointing and shaking their fingers and frowning at her dad. [[Baa Baa]]

That sound got on everyone's nerves, they told her to put him [[outside]]

Before she could get out of the church someone started yelling, take it outside! Takeit outside! Animals do not belong in a church. Would he be safe tied to the [[Fence post]]

She took him outside as she was told, tied him to the fence post, went back in the [[church]]

Once back inside the people had the most disguted look on their faces thinking what gall they must have to bring a baby lamb in church and to have it sitting there on Suzie's lap. [[Noise]]

After church was over she ran outside to untie Onyx from the [[Fence post]], much to her surprise, someone had clipped all of his beautiful black wool. Initially, when she told her dad she wanted to name the lamb Onyx, he told her that Onyx was a stone stone that had also been seen in colors of brown, pink, red, and green. Suzie started to wonder what color his wool would be when it grew back, could it possibly be pink, or red [[wool]]?

A day that broke up the monotonousness of what ordinarily would have been a day like every other on the farm, in the [[Sheep pen]]

She sat back down until everything was over, then hurried to get back outside to find her friend, only to find someone had stolen his beautiful black wool while he was tied to the [[Fence post]] [[Sheared Onyx]]

Pink would be the best color she thought.
