Cantiga 147 of the Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso X
The Talking Sheep
A poor old woman, devoted to the Virgin, bought a sheep.
She entrusted it to a shepherd for safekeeping.
At shearing time she went to collect the wool, but the shepherd, who had hidden the sheep, told her that a wolf had eaten it.
The woman realised he was lying and asked the Virgin to restore her sheep.
The sheep cried out: “Here I am.”
The woman sheared it and took the fleece to Rocamadour.
