Favourite Writings - Louis 1, King of the Sheep


Louis 1, King of the Sheep, by Olivier Tallec 

A crown, blown by the wind, lands on Louis' head

'The first thing Louis 1 thought was that to govern, a King should have a sceptre'


'Louis 1 also told himself that a good King should address his people from time to time'


'Ambassadors from far and wide would also travel long distances to pay tribute to him, Louis 1, King of the Sheep'

'Next, Louis 1 decided that only the sheep who resembled him could live at his side. The others must be driven out'.

'But then, upon another windy day.....'

'Louis 1, King of the Sheep, became Louis the sheep once again'
