Saved by a Sheep

Listen from:
Did you ever hear the story about a tiny boy who was saved by a sheep? Well, here it is:
A big warship was lying off the coast of P., when a very loud noise was heard, and as the people on shore looked to see what it was, the big ship burst into flames.
The father and the mother of this little boy were with him on the burning ship.
The father took one of the biggest sheep on board, and tied his little son to its back, and threw them both into the sea. The sheep swam to the land, and the dear little boy was saved.
Could the tiny boy do anything to save himself?
No, he could do nothing but lie still.
And you, dear child, need to be saved, too; and all you have to do is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for you, and who loves little children. It was He who said,
If the Lord Jesus loved you so much as to die for you, ought not you to trust in Him, and to love Him in return?
