In the center of the field sits a young shepherd boy. He's muttering numbers to himself, eyes locked on the flock. "Thirty-one… no, forty-three… wait, it was sixty-eight…" Each time - a different number. The sheep keep switching places, vanishing and reappearing. He doesn't notice you. He just keeps counting, over and over. What will you do?
