The story is about a courageous lamb who struggles to keep up with the flock and sets off in search of a place where he can be himself and find his own fulfillment. But the story is also about the dark patches of damp earth beneath the fresh snow, the warm wool of the sheep, and the distant stars that twinkle in the endless winter sky.
 
 This story is very simple, but all the truly important things in our lives are simple.
