Sheep

Angry sheep!The kids were happily playing, the mothers were chatting away, and I went for a nice run. I do that more often, but this time was a little different than usual. From a big skate park, I run a loop of about five kilometers through the neighborhood. It’s all mountain paths, with the occasional bit of asphalt. After about a kilometer, I came across a group of sheep. Just on the public road. There were about fifteen of them, I think, and five were little ones. Cute. I stopped for a moment and grabbed my phone to take a picture. One sheep walked up to me, and I thought, ‘Oh, how nice, I’ll pet him’.

Suddenly, I saw the sheep in much higher definition, and the rest of the surroundings blurred. I could only see that one sheep, especially its two enormous horns. Oh. At the speed of light, I understood that he needed to defend his offspring (from me), and that I’d better keep running. I started jogging again, and the angry sheep came after me. What? I sped up, and the sheep stopped chasing me. So in the end, a boring running route still gave me a fun story.
