About the book:
Antonio and Shylock are quarreling neighbors who happen to be sheep! Antonio agrees to help his friend Bart meet up with his true love, Portia, but they must cross through Shylocks pasture. Shylock allows it but threatens to bite off a pound of Antonios fleece if anything goes wrong. In disguise, Portia saves the day by showing why Shylock cannot carry out this threat. Shylock is sent away.
