Ole Pokey and the Browns

fable Farmer Brown never works on Sunday, for Sunday is special and they go to church. Two horses in his barn know of kindness for of kindness, the Browns talk a lot. Each Sunday one of their two horses, one horse drives their wagon to church. The kids are nice kids, Mrs. Brown is joyful, too joyful and compassionate like Jesus. This Sunday, the oldest horse stayed back stayed back with a weak leg to rest. Looking out the barn, Ole Pokey saw the sheep, wild and wooly sheep had broke through the gate. Knowing how important the sheep are … the sheep are the Brown’s livelihood, Old Pokey wakes the lazy dog with a start with a start to start rounding up sheep. As the family returned from their worship worship of Almighty God, they found their horse limping, but pacing the open corral corralling the sheep back inside. Children, this story I tell to show you to show you that kindness to animals pays. Old Pokey was hurting but that didn’t matter, what mattered was a love for his master.
