The five-legged sheep

Once upon a time there was a sheep with five legs.

The sheep was very handsome and bright. But that was not all there was to it.

The sheep was well-accomplished, it was more than an average sheep was able to be.

When other sheep were 2 years young, the five-legged sheep was 2 years old.

When other sheep were specialized in wool production, the five-legged sheep was specialized in wool, meat, milk, cheese, bone, fur and leather production.

It was able to create miracles, things that no eye has ever glanced.

The five-legged sheep had excellent cross-disciplinary qualities that were not seen in the average sheep.

All the excellence was demanded of the sheep but despite all it's great, honorable qualities and hard work, it was just another sheep in the flock. It ended up being slaughtered one fine, sunny, warm, summer day and the other sheep all lived happily ever after. Until they died, too.
