The first night, then, I went to sleep?on the sand, a thousand miles from any human habitation. I was more isolated than?a shipwrecked sailor?on a raft?in the middle of the ocean. Thus?you can imagine?my amazement, at sunrise, when I was awakened?by an odd?little voice. It said:

“If you please—draw me a sheep?”

“What?”

“Draw me a sheep…”
