^1 BEER-DBIXKiyO SHEEP. 



door, — a brave ^aioh-dog , with horns ready to butt any one who 

 dared to disturb his master. 



But the funniest thing about Schaap was, that as soon as the 

 dinner-bell rang he always started for the head of the table. 



"When Mr. Watson sat down, this saucy fellow behind his chair 

 put his fore paws on his shoulders, just to remind him that he 

 wanted his dinner. He would not touch grass or hay, but was 

 very fond of mutton, soap, and candles. He drank coffee and tea, 

 if there were plenty of sugar and cream in it, with a great relish. 

 I am sorry to say Schaap was more fond of draught beer than of 

 anything else. He lifted the can up with his front paws and held 

 it to his mouth until every drop was gone. 



They say he was very wicked. I don't wondei-, if he was such a 

 lover of strong drink. All day he was running about, not with the 

 sheep, but with the dogs, and following his master, until the bell 

 rang for dinner, and for Schaap's tankard of ale.
