The sheep explored the house.

It wasn't as spacious as their barn, but it matched in warmth & dryness. There was also no hay, but right now it was a 'Later' problem.

"Has THIS ever happened to YOU?" blared the tv.

The lead ewe observed the miraculous devices on offer.

She carefully dialed the Order-Line.

Alas, the operator did not understand Bleat, no matter how loudly she repeated herself.

World Dominance was delayed another day.

@hirnbrot saw this, went "ufff... k" and realize that it was right up your alley - don't ever say my dislike of puns spills out into unfriendliness :)

This is a modern form of haiku called Hay(na)ku -- which is three lines - one word/two words/three words

You can end a chapter in one of three ways.

The turn - a change of emotion that turns the preceding mood on its head - example. A chapter about the sadness of a funeral that ends in a couple of kids laughing. (This is the most common, especially among script-writing).

The hang - A piece of information that will be revealed later in the novel - example. She would find out why she had this premonition when she grew old.

The sequence - Not to be confused with the hang, but an issue that will be picked right up in the next chapter. Chapter 2 (ending) - She wasn't sure if she would pick up the flower, but she doubted it. Chapter 3 (beginning) - the rose felt like rough silt between her fingers.

Ending a chapter is key to writing a novel.
