The Counting Sheep

Once upon a time, on a happy farm, there was a little sheep named Sam.

Sam loved living on the farm and playing with his friends. One day, he saw a group of cows counting apples from a tree.

Curious, Sam approached the cows and asked, 'What are you doing?' They replied, 'We are counting apples!'

Sam wanted to learn how to count too, so he asked the cows to teach him. They happily agreed!

The cows started by showing Sam how to count up to three. Sam practiced counting with them every day.

After a few weeks, Sam became really good at counting. He could count up to ten all by himself!

One morning, the farm's chickens couldn't find their eggs. They asked Sam for help.

The chickens were so happy that Sam helped them find the eggs. They thanked him by giving him a big basket of carrots.
