Long ago, a shepherd boy took care of his master’s sheep. Every day he sat on the hill and watched them eat grass. Munch, munch, munch.
Near the grassy pasture stood a dark forest. Nothing ever happened there. The boy talked to his dog. He played his shepherd’s pipe, a little wooden flute. Oh, how dull it was!
