Adam just moved into this little village with his family. His father John bought a farm there, because of their old one had to disappear because of expansion of the city.
While checking up the sheep, he noticed they weren't where they supposed to be. He knew for sure that they closed the gate last night, when he and his father brought the sheep from the stables to the lawn. Now, he was looking at an open gate, and just a few sheep on the lawn. Adam closed the gate, so the remaining sheep stayed where they are. Adam run to the house, where the rest of the family was still having breakfast.
'Dad?', asked Adam, 'You closed the gate to the lawn last night, didn't you?'
'Of course I did, why are you asking?', answered John.
'Well, I decided to check up on them and when I got there, the gate was open and there were just a few sheep on the lawn, the rest seems to be disappeared', Adam said.
'That's impossible, I really know for sure I closed the gate, but we'll have to check the neighborhood out then', John said.
When Adam wanted to follow his father outside, he heard Holly whispering to Hannah: 'Ah, there is mister kiss-ass again.' Adam gave her a filthy look and went outside.
When they arrived at the lawn, John started to count the sheep. He knew he had 10 last night, but there were only 7 left. Adam quickly looked around from the point he was standing, but he saw none of the missing sheep. Although in the far end of their land he thought he saw something, that could been a sheep. He started to run towards the place he had been looking at. He chased the sheep back to the gate and locked it up. When he turned around he saw his father carrying a small sheep. Adam opened the gate, so John could drop the sheep at the lawn.
'Well, then there's only one missing', Adam said.
'Yes, if you keep looking for the last one, then I'll already start with the rest of the work that have to been done today', John said.
'Sounds like a plan to me', Adam said before walking away.
Adam couldn't find the last missing sheep around the land of the farm, so he decided to look for it outside the farm. When he was walking through the lane, he saw a guy walking with his dog. He seems to be around the same age as he is. Back home he had a few good friends, who were pretty much like a second family to him. Whenever he wasn't at home, he was watching movies with his friends, or went to the pub with them.
Now he hadn't find any time to go to the pub and make new friends, so he decided to ask the guy for some help.
Adam walked to the guy, and introduced himself: 'Hi, I'm Adam.'
'Aaron', the guy only said.
'I just moved in here with my family, and now it happened that the gate wasn't closed good enough, so there were missing a few sheep. Most of them we found already, but there's one missing. Did you see accidentally a sheep during your walk?', Adam asked Aaron.
'Look around Adam, there're only sheep around here', Aaron said with a serious face.
'Hmm, you're right about that', Adam said with a laugh, 'Sorry, for bothering you'.
'No sweat, good luck with finding your sheep', Aaron said before walking further with his dog.
Why am I so clumsy lately when it comes to talking to guys?
