Sheep at eight years old will be in their old age: they will live nine or ten years sometimes more, but an eight-year-old sheep would be what is called a broken-mouthed creature; that is to say, it would have lost some of its teeth from old age, and would generally be found to crawl along at the tail end of the mob; so that of the 2582 sheep returned to me, 500 would be very old, 200 would be seven years old, 200 six years old.
About a year ago there come to my back door a strange-lookin' man who'd hurt his foot some way. I took him in an' fixed him up you know I studied for a doctor once an' while he was bein' fixed up, he sorter took a fancy to me an' he begun to give me the story of his life. He said he was born in the year 2582, an' had ben takin' what he called a historical trip into the past ages.
