one day on a family holiday, we were near some hills and there were sheep living on them. dad told me that sheep that lived on mountains had two long legs and two short legs so that they could stand properly on the slope. i asked dad what would happen if they turned around the other way (with their long legs uphill) and he said that they'd fall off the hill! i think i was about 10 at the time!!
