Counting sheep

When Thomas was a child, her mother gave him a pice of advice: ''everytime that you can't sleep and you suffer from insomia, you should count sheep until you fall asleep.''

He didn't use to have problems to sleep because he had to do a lot of activities apart from school. such as playing the piano and the violin, so he ended the day too tired. However, one nigth when he was eighteen years old and he had already given up his activities, he couldn't sleep, so he remembered his mother's advice and then he started to count sheep...

Whenever he counted up to seventy sheep, he could sleep, but he had a strange dream: he dreamed that seventy crazy sheep could play  different instruments as the saxophone, the trumpet, the drums or the piano and they had a band which had a lead singer but their music was incomprehensible and monotonous. Finally, the dream became a nigthmare so he promised himself not to count sheep anymore.
