| Summary | "The Sheep and Lamb" by Thomas Miller is a children's story written in the late 19th century. This narrative, part of "Bessie's Country Stories," explores the themes of kindness, struggle, and the bond between children and animals, particularly focusing on a young boy's affection for his pet lamb. It presents a glimpse into rural life and the often harsh realities that families face, especially in times of financial hardship. The story revolves around Johnny, a boy who is devastated at the prospect of losing his beloved pet lamb due to his father's inability to work after an accident. As the community learns of his plight, Charley, a richer farmer's son, selflessly offers one of his own lambs to ensure that Johnny can keep his pet. Polly, a caring servant girl, helps in this endeavor, demonstrating the power of friendship and compassion in tough times. The narrative culminates with the children working together to protect the lambs from the butcher, ultimately leaving readers with a heartwarming message about generosity, empathy, and the importance of community support.
