Read the following excerpt from The Loner. After the third paragraph, type two facts you learn about sheep or shepherding. Use exact words from the excerpt. "What do they do then?" "They fool the ewe. They skin her dead lamb and put its wool on the bum. They make slits for the legs and one for the neck and then they slip it over the bum and give him to the ewe. Funniest thing you ever saw. The lamb has two tails and eight legs." Boss whirled on him. "Dum? They're not dum. They're just about the most helpless creatures alive. They've lost all their instinct to take care of themselves because they haven't had to. But it isn't their fault. It's man's. He's bred all the wild animal's independence and cunning out of them for his own gain, to have their meat and their wool with the least possible bother from them. Don't ever use that word about them again in my hearing. I won't have it!"
