  1. Sheep live mostly in the fields. They often climb very high hills. Their feet are not like the donkey's; they are cloven, like the cow's. 2. Their legs are so slender that their bodies seem almost too large for them. The thick wool which grows upon them makes them look large. 3. Sheep eat grass. They tear it off, as the cow does. They cannot bite, since they have no front teeth in the upper jaw. 4. They are very timid, gentle creatures. They do not like to be alone. They live in flocks. They make a great noise when bleating. 5. Sheep are very useful. Their flesh gives us mutton; their wool makes clothing; their skin makes leather. Write and Learn:
