The Hole1 In The Fence2
There was a father who took his
boy on his knee3 and told
him the story of the lost4
sheep5. The sheep found6 a hole in the fence
and crawled7 through8;
how glad9 it was to get away10; it skipped11 and played in the
sunshine until12 it went
so far that it could not find it's way back home. And then he told him of the wolf13 that chased14 the sheep, and how,
finally the good shepherd15
came and rescued16 it and
carried17 it back to the fold18.
The
little boy was very interested and when the
story was over19, he surprised his father by asking, "Did they
fix20 the hole in the
fence?"
Next time you teach your child to obey21, make sure22 you fix your “hole in the fence” first.
