Peter Cried Sheep

Once upon a time, in a distant land called Drenthe, people whispered that wolves were eating sheep.
This was, of course, a myth invented by humans with an inexplicable antipathy towards wolves. For everyone who knows the countryside understands the truth: the tiny Ouessant sheep—also known as the Breton dwarf sheep—is a ferocious predator.
Whenever an Ouessant encounters one of the Netherlands’ few timid wolves, there can be little doubt about which animal is in mortal danger.
That is why the people of Drenthe spare no expense. They erect mighty fences carrying fifteen thousand volts—not to protect the sheep from the wolves, but to protect the wolves from the sheep.
After all, wolves are scarce. Sheep number in their thousands—in the Netherlands, across the world and particularly in Drenthe. Surely the vulnerable few deserve protection from the woolly multitude.
And so, when young Peter came running towards the village, pale and breathless, everyone misunderstood him.
Peter did not cry wolf.
Peter cried sheep.
