Silver Jewel’s parents wish Silver good night as they close the door. Silver struggles to go to sleep. He tries to count sheep one by one. One. Two. Three. Fou… Number four sheep suddenly leaps out of his dream and into his bedroom.

Silver is surprised by his new arrival. The sheep starts to make a noise and mess with Silver’s room, like eating his pillow. Silver continues to ignore the sheep by placing his hands on his head so he can go to sleep. Silver get angry at the sheep and tells it go away.
