There once was a sheep named Cora who, at first sight , it seemed like all the other sheep. Except for one thing: not one of his ears was usually pinkish white, but a bright yellow lemon. And when our sheep met some acquaintance was ridiculed and teased. "Hello, lemon-colored ear, always a bit 'sour, right?" Bleated the goat. "Hello, cheese is your ear? Would seem to smell! "Grunted the pig.
With that stupid ear Cora all went wrong. When Cora was hungry, the goat was pushing her away and devoured all the grass. When he was thirsty, stands in front of the pig and drank all the water. When you find a nice place to rest, the day after someone else had occupied him. That was enough to lose heart and certainly to be ashamed so much of that nasty lemon-yellow ear.
ram One day, the wise, seeing the trsitezza Cora, decided to help her: he took a bucket of paint and a brush, while Cora closed her eyes because of painting, painted the white ear. The sheep immediately felt better and was very hungry. He looked around and found some delicious and tender flowers, then she was thirsty and reached a nice pool of water made her a pig and Cora took place next to him. but suddenly it started to rain and when the rain stopped the pig rolled in the mud watering splashing all around. Cora then protested: "Do not smudge my beautiful white rose ear" White pink? But it is yellow, you do not know the ear of cheese? " called out the pork.
The sheep could not believe it. is reflected in the puddle and saw the yellow ear ran away crying and calling out the old ram for help. It was then that the wise sheep revealed to Cora that in fact his ear had never been to a new color. He had only pretended to paint, the brush was dipped in water only. But that day something to Cora changed forever, not so much in appearance, but in his attitude towards life and themselves. So when she met the goat and the pig looked at them straight in the eye and without hesitation said, "Put in mind that from today I will accept only as a nickname" ear color of the stars. "Is that clear?" they called out resolutely.
