How it begins

All around you, your sheep are readying themseles for sleep. They nestle in the thick grass of the large field, clearly exhausted after a hard day of grazing. But there is dissent amongst the ranks! One of your sheep makes a run for the next field, jumping gracefully over the hedgerows. You stand up quickly and collect your crook. You need that sheep!
