Mary and her husband Dimitri lived in the tiny village of Perachora in southern Greece. One of Mary's prize possessions was a little white lamb which her husband had given her. She kept it tied to a tree in a field during the day and went to fetch it every evening. One evening， however， the lamb was missing. The rope had been cut， so it was obvious that the lamb had been stolen.
When Dimitri came in from the fields， his wife told him what had happened. Dimitri at once set out to find the thief.
