Speaking of the shepherds in Australia, we may think so.
Or something like this.
In short, all are simple pastoral painting style.
Recently, however, a shepherd farm in Australia has seen a different picture:
More than 400 sheep were wearing sweaters of various colors at the ranch, and at first glance they thought they had come to the pastures in cartoons.
Although the young sheep in sweaters look cute and cute, the scene has also been questioned by many people:
A sweater for a sheep? Isn't there a little bit of an extra move. Is it hard for ranchers to use it to attract attention and increase their business?
This matter spread more and more widely, also aroused the Australian media's attention, the reporter came to the ranch to investigate, just learned, behind these sweater sheep, there is a much more touching story …
It turns out that wearing sweaters for sheep is not what the rancher came up with in order to attract the attention of the sheep. These sweaters are for the sheep to save their lives.
Australia suffered a severe drought not long ago, coupled with unusually cold weather, the pasture feed is getting less and less, many ewe are not enough to eat themselves, can not support the young sheep at all
Without the mother's care, the sheep can not bear the cold weather, more and more weak, dying …
In the face of such a situation, the herdsmen are helpless.
Just then, a nearby girl named Knight came across the ranch and found out about the sheep. She decided to call on her friends to knit some sweaters for them and help them through the cold winter. But also to help the anxious herdsmen lighten their burdens.
In this way, Knight and friends are almost every day busy knitting sweaters for the sheep, a few weeks later, more than 100 sweaters have been knitted and worn on the lamb.
There are also more and more people from Knight to learn about the lamb, we spontaneously joined in to weave a piece of warmth for the lam
In the efforts of everyone, each lamb has a sweater of their own, they do not have to fear the cold anymore …
Instead of stopping, Knight and friends set up a special social account called "Lamb Jumpers," calling on them to weave more sweaters for the young sheep in the cold winter, and to call on the needy herdsmen to contact them.
They want to use their strength to help the herdsmen who are in trouble through the difficulties
More and more people responded to Knight's call, some with them to knit sweaters for sheep, others to pay for wool and materials, and a small sweater with the generosity and kindness of countless people.
I believe that this winter, with the help of Knight and good people, sheep and herdsmen will no longer feel cold …
