The Hole In The Fence

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.
