One day, in Texas...

A poor Australian sheep farmer migrated to Texas. Nearly bankrupt, more misfortune befell when several of his lambs tumbled into large vats of vegetable dyes reserved for the local Navajo weavers.

Fortunately for him, a wealthy woman who was passing by in her Cadillac was enthralled by the sight of the colorful lambs cavorting about and ordered a dozen for pets. Word soon spread of her find and the Aussie could hardly keep up with the demand for these unique "status symbols."

He soon became known as the biggest lamb dyer in all of Texas.
