My name is Bopeep.
Do you see all my sheep and lambs?
I take care of them.
I find grass and water for them.
One day I lost my pretty sheep.
I could not find them any where.
How did Bopeep find her sheep?
I will tell you how she found them.
She looked here, she looked there.
She went down to the brook.
No sheep were there.
She called and called.
She stood still to listen.
She heard not a sheep.
Bopeep sat down on the grass.
The birds sang to her.
The brook sang to the birds.
Then little Bopeep went to sleep.
The sheep and lambs came running.
They came out of the woods.
"Here we are, little Bopeep," they said.
"We have come back to you.
We have come to live with you again."
Little Bopeep looked up.
She saw her sheep and lambs.
All had come back to her.
How glad she was to see them!
They drank the water from the brook.
They ate the green grass.
The lambs played under the trees.
"Oh, my pretty lambs!" said little Bopeep.
