Hi, what do you think of this story by Sandra Marttinen? It's called How to make lambs suckle? -- which was my idea. Maybe, there is a better title for it? Just let me know.
Thanks. Torsten

Hello Torsten,

Truthfully, I did not expect the essay to discuss the title literally. Was it all about how to make lambs suckle? Or is there any hidden message in it? If I were to guess, I would say:

1. We have to be analytical/logical to solve any problem. For example, in your story, the mother lamb did not want to feed one of her twins because they smelled differently (I think it's common knowledge that animals reject their babes when they smelled different) so the solution is to make them smelled the same.

2. Like John, men should be considerate with their wives. (??) (Not wanting to wake her up and letting her have her beauty sleep Very Happy )

3. Men should not underestimate their wives because women can do wonderful things and leave you open-mouthed when they put their mind to it.

4. Like John, we won't mind working like a horse if it is something that we love.

Are these the things that you wanted to deliver? Or did I just make them up?

Yours,
Nina
