That morning, the first of the sheep said:
– But what a sheep's life! I'm tired of running without knowing why. Where I am, there's tender grass underfoot, but this man keeps pushing us to go further!
– Move on, you unfortunate fool! I don't have time for this!
Meanwhile, the shepherd dog, who constantly followed the man's stick, was as tired as the movement of the wooden stick he held.
– But what a sheep's life! I'm tired of running without knowing why. Where I am, there's tender grass underfoot, but this man pushes us to go further!
– Oh, you poor creatures! I'm tired too. I spend my whole life chasing after you and protecting you from wolves and other animals who see you as nothing more than a piece of meat! Yes, to us humans, you're also just a piece of meat, even though I love you!
– But what a sheep's life! I'm tired of running without knowing why. Where I am, there's tender grass underfoot, but this man asks us to go further!
– Stop complaining all the time. We also have a life just as yours. We are told to do what we're told and not to think because wasting time thinking serves no purpose. Our leaders tell us that pondering blocks economic growth, and they urge us to eat more and die faster!
– But what a sheep's life! I'm tired of running without knowing why. Where I am, there's tender grass underfoot, but this man asks us to go further!
The poor dog was becoming more foolish, running in all directions without thinking. He dashes to please his master, who, in turn, cries over his debts to suppliers who will soon come knocking. The sheep are not being fattened and nourished properly. They are not even worth the price of a vaccine. So, what can be done? When one can no longer trust the profitability of a living creature, it's death!
