Argyle

Argyle enjoys being a sheep. He loves to roam the highlands and lowlands, munching on grass with the rest of the flock. One day, he discovers colorful flowers growing behind some rocks. The flowers are tasty, and, day after day, Argyle returns to eat them. Those flowers will change Argyle's life. For soon he's growing multicolored wool. The farmer and his wife are astonished. But soon the farmer's wife is knitting socks--argyle socks. Argyle wins fame. The farmer and his wife become rich. But when Argyle loses his colorful wool and turns white again, he loses his fame as fast as he had gained it. Now Argyle is just an ordinary sheep. And that's just how he likes it.Wallace, Barbara Brooks is the author of 'Argyle ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781590782453 and ISBN 1590782453.
