The tale is of  two sheep, Patience and Passion, awaiting their reward
from the hands of another.  Two additional siblings were mentioned,
but not named, Jealousy and Greed.

Again we are told of sheep, those who await their shepherd's staff.
The life of a sheep is not that of a man, and that of the farmer is
not that of the shepherd.

Shall we allow the sheep to deprive us of our grain?  Who will
shepherd them then?  The farmer's fields, so lush and green, let the
sheep eat their fill and the farmer will soon abandon his till.
