One very cold morning, the farmer decides he needs more firewood. There isn’t any wood in the box so he has to go and find some. He takes a saw and gets into his old blue lorry with Bitzer, his dog, to go and look for a good tree to cut down.
As soon as the farmer leaves the farm, Shaun and the other sheep run to the big tree in the garden that they love. They have great fun playing, dancing, swinging, climbing and making music.

Ezop je považován za zakladatele řecké bajky a patří dodnes k nejznámějším bajkařům. Narodil se pravděpodobně jako otrok, po propuštění z otroctví hodně cestoval.
