Mooing Sheep

A flock of sheep were grazing in a field by the road, happily going “baa baa” to each other and discussing life as usual. At once point a car drove by and honked at them, at which point a loud “moo mooooooo!” was heard, followed by laughter.

The curious sheep looked around, but there were no cows in the field. Later another car drove by honking, and again was heard, “Moooooo mooooooooooo mmmoooo!” Once more laughter followed, even harder than before.

One sheep heard it right next to him that time. He shuffled over to his friend, an irritated expression on his face. “George,” he said, “control yourself. You’re being ridiculous. You’re a sheep. Sheep go ‘baa’.”

George stifled his laughter. “I know, I know,” he gasped. “But the people in those cars don’t even know I’m talking to them in a foreign language!”
