TRANSCRIPT

As you listen I want you to imagine the story**Once upon a time** there were two shepherd. Now these shepherd loved each other. They had been friends since they were young. They had grown up together and had spent much time together. They were the best of friends.**One day** the younger shepherd said the the older one."Look, you see that lamb that is following your sheep?That lamb is my lamb.""What are you talking about!? It's my lamb. See how it follows my flock? It is not your lamb. look at it markings. This lamb belongs to me."And the two friends began to argue. They disagreed. And they became angry. So angry, they started to shout. And they were just about to fight when they stopped and walked away from each other.After that they didn't speak. Their friendship ended, and they did not look at each other.**Some time later** the shepherd saw a man. A stranger, coming over the hill. The stranger was caring a heavy bag on his back. "Hey friend come. I have a job for you. You are a work man? You see that house and my house. I want you to build a fence. I want you to build a strong fence between that house and my house. I want a fence that is so tall that no sheep can jump over it. A fence so tall that no man can see over it. Build this fence high and strong and I will pay you.Well, it was in the evening an the shepherd went to his bed. **During the night** he couldn't sleep, cause the whole time he heard *bang bang* *saw saw* The workman was working though the night. In the morning he got out of his bed and there in the door way stood the stranger. And the stranger had the bag on his back. Have you finished already? The stranger didn't speak and he walked away. The shepherd came out of his house and looked. And there between his house and the other shepherd's house stood a big, beautiful, wooden....**...bridge.** And as he looked the other shepherd was stepping onto the bridge, "Oh friend! Friend, what a fine idea to build a bridge between your house and my house. Our friendship is more important than one lamb. Come my friend!" And the two friends stepped onto the bridge and hugged each other. And their tears rolled down their cheeks.**After hugging** They looked and they saw the stranger with his heavy bag climbing over the hill. And the shepherd called, "Come back. Come back. Where are you going? I haven't paid you."The stranger turned and for the first time he spoke. "I must go on. There are always more bridges to build."
