High in the hills, where the green grass grows, lived Benny the Shepherd, with curly hair and a nose like a rose.
Every morning, Benny would say, 'Good morning, sheep! How do you do today?'
The sheep would answer, 'Baa baa!' as if to say, 'Hello Benny, we are okay!'
Benny had a favorite sheep named Lolly, she was as fluffy as a pillow and always jolly.
One day a frog hopped up to Benny and croaked, 'Ribbit, ribbit, let’s go on a quest, dear Benny!'
‘A quest?’ Benny thought with a grin, ‘Oh what an adventure that would be to begin!’
They set off to find the Golden Clover, hidden amongst mountains and fields of red rover.
Along the way they met a singing bird, whose melodies were the sweetest ever heard.
They danced along to the bird's sweet tune, until the sun was replaced by the moon.
Benny shouted, ‘Golden Clover where are you? We will find you, we really do!’
In a field lit by the moon's glow, the Golden Clover began to show!
With joy and cheer, they found their quest's end. Benny knew his journey was worth the send.
Back home they went, tired but merry, for in their hearts, they had a story to carry.
And from that day, Benny would say, ‘In each dawn’s new ray, there's a quest we will play!’
