A shepherd had one hundred sheep. One sheep got lost. The shepherd looked until he found it. He carried it home with joy.

A woman lost a coin. She lit a lamp and swept the house. When she found it, she was so happy!

A son left his father and wasted his money. He got hungry. He went home to say sorry. His father ran to hug him! The father gave a big party. His son was lost but now was found.
