A woman with a ewe more than each of you at that, hmm?" Marie dragged two sheep behind her by a pair of ropes, and though the beasts were digging in and being stubborn about being separated from their herd, Marie Archambault was more stubborn still. The animals glided across the lush grass, bleating madly in indignation.<br/><br/>Aron and Eriq--each with a single, roped ewe--were doing slightly worse. At times the sheep would collapse against the ground, refusing to budge, and at other times they would yank the boys off their feet and take several desperate steps back towards the massive flock in the front yard. "Beat us! Eh, no woman but Ma can do that, right Aron!" yelled Eriq as he yanked his ruminant forward with renewed determination. Two steps forward for every step back; the boys were making progress, but it came slow.
