"Let's count the sheep," says Suzy.

Jumper is first. One! Then two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

"Eight sheep?" says Spike. "But we have nine!"

"Count again!" says Little Thunder.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... and there, at the very end, is Muster!

"Nine!" says Suzy. "Muster is always ninth."

Muster gives a happy little baa and wags her woolly tail.

Never first, never last, but always ninth!
