Alfred in the wilderness

Alfred and the wilderness Alfred, who with the greatest of ease tells, he is not my father and I went for a walk across a chlorophyll-filled field. Alfred, who is a musician and never ventures out in the landscape saw some grazing sheep and wondered if they were dangerous, No, I said they are sheep and born friendly as God created them, to this, Alfred called me a crypto-Christian. A little Lamb came up to my father, it was so sweet, as only a lamb can be, he lifted it up, which the ewe disliked, and it butted him in the rear. Alfred was shocked, got up, and demanded that I bring him to safety in the nearest town; never trust animals, they are all out to get us, he said while limping to safer ground.
