Three Baby Lambs

When her ewe Sally had twins, naming them was easy for Nelly. They would either be Salt and Pepper or Peanut Butter and Jelly. Her brother asked, "what about Jack and Jill or Bread and Butter?" Nelly was irritated, he was bothering them; she ran to tell her mother. Triplet lambs are rare, it only happens 2.3 percent of the time. But Sally gave birth three times today, the neighbors all chime. Huey, Dewey and Louie or Cat in the Hat, Thing One and Thing Two. They were determined to help Nelly name them – red white and blue? Nelly was excited by the baby lambs three. She sat with Sally, and petted them, feeling carefree. A photographer came by and took her photo; she was a beauty. He suggested the names A, B, and C, as if it were his duty.
