    Sketch:

    (Opening Scene : A tourist dressed in a business suit approaches a shepherd. The sounds of sheep and the outdoors are heard.)

    Tourist: Good afternoon.

    Shepherd: Afternoon

    Tourist: Ah, lovely day isn't it?

    Shepherd: Eh, 'tis that.

    Tourist: You here on holiday?

    Shepherd: Nope, I live 'ere.

    Tourist: Oh, good for you. Uh…those ARE sheep aren't they?

    Shepherd: Yeh.

    Tourist: Hmm, thought they were. Only, what are they doing up in the trees?

    Shepherd: A fair question and one that in recent weeks 'as been much on my mind. It's my considered opinion that they're nestin'.

    Tourist: Nesting?

    Shepherd: Aye.

    Tourist: Like birds?

    Shepherd: Exactly. It's my belief that these sheep are laborin' under the misapprehension that they're birds. Observe their be'avior. Take for a start the sheeps' tendency to 'op about the field on their 'ind legs. Now witness their attmpts to fly from tree to tree. Notice that they do not so much fly as…plummet.

    (Baaa baaa… flap flap flap… whoosh… thud.)

    Tourist: Yes, but why do they think they're birds?

    Shepherd: Another fair question. One thing is for sure, the sheep is not a creature of the air. They have enormous difficulty in the comparatively simple act of perchin'. (Baaa baaa… flap flap flap… whoosh… thud.) Trouble is, sheep are very dim. Once they get an idea in their 'eads, there's no shiftin' it.

    Tourist: But where did they get the idea?

    Shepherd: From Harold. He's that most dangerous of creatures, a clever sheep. 'e's realized that a sheep's life consists of standin' around for a few months and then bein' eaten. And that's a depressing prospect for an ambitious sheep.

    Tourist: Well why don't just remove Harold?

    Shepherd: Because of the enormous commercial possibilities if 'e succeeds.

    Voice Over : And what exactly are the commercial possibilities of ovine aviation?
