Sculpture, loving

The Black Sheep (1969)
by Augusto Monterroso
(trans. from Spanish by Marion Iverson)

Many years ago in a faraway land there lived a Black Sheep.

It was shot.

A century later the sorry flock raised an equestrian statue to it, which looked very fine in the park.

So from then onward whenever a black sheep appeared it was quickly shot so that future generations of common sheep could also practice the art of sculpture.
