Farmer Ken Kellog raised sheep. He had a surly, unpredictable ram that tried to escape the pasture at every opportunity. Twenty ravens had their nests nearby. There were two swoops of 10 ravens each. The ravens loved to harass the ram. They''d fly down to the field and caw at him until he charged. At the last second, they''d fly upward, and the ram would hit the fence. One day, a raven didn''t get out of the way in time. He was crushed. The others decided to get revenge. When Kellog visited the pasture one day, he failed to lock the gate. The ravens pushed it open and lured the ram into the hayfield. They flew toward the bailing machine, the ram chasing them furiously. At the last moment, the ravens pulled up -- and the ram ran straight into the bailer. He came out the other side in a mangled package. Twenty big black birds came to perch upon him, satisfied. The farmer was left with two swoops of ravens on a package of Kellog''s brazen ram!
