Calebs Lamb

by Helen Santos


Caleb never really wanted to be a shepherd. But when he rescued a newborn lamb from a tangle of thorns and was given it as his own, his feelings began to change. As the lamb grew, Caleb came to feel a special affection for it. In the end, he owed his life to the lamb. The story is designed to promote a deep sense of appreciation for the principle of substitution.

Ages 9-12.
