Rescued "Little Lamb" from drowning

It was Tuesday afternoon mates Erik Bjørnøy (20), Torvald Ask (19) and Vetlefjellet Farstad (20) from Ålesund was at Alnes in Giske municipality. The three were actually on tour to take pictures with Vetlefjellet Farstad his new camera when the dramatic incident occurred.

- Erik walked a little closer to the water than me and Vetlefjellet. Sudden we Erik wave and shout us down to the water's edge, tells Torvald Ask.

- I saw a small white ball in the water, and was curious what it was. When I got closer I saw that it was a sheep and shouted at the others, says Erik Bjørnøy.

There was an immediate dramatic rescue.

- The sheep was almost a little scared once I approached and swam the first wrong road, the minister says.

He considered jumping into the sea, but realized that this was not a good solution.

- It was difficult. From the rock was some distance down to the water, and there were some waves. I had to wait for the right wave to control the beast, telling Bjørnøy.

His friend Torvald took hold of Erik that he should not fall into the water.

- It was either or. When the right wave came, I could barely control the beast, the minister says.

The adrenaline was highly noticeable for the young men. The wet flock was maybe 20-30 pound, but they managed to salvage it safely ashore.

- It all happened so fast. I have only praise for Erik to be as dynamic, said Torvald Ask.

After the lamb was safely ashore got the ground contact on the grass nearby.

- It worked just Skiplet after the incident. It had certainly been drinking some water, so we decided to leave it a little at peace, the minister says, who first warmed the wet ulldyret best ability.

When the three boys came back a little later was the little lamb on a small cliff.

- I brought it back down, and then put it head to his flock. It was maybe about ten animals a short distance away. There was much bleating when it was reunited with the family, says Erik Bjørnøy.

- It was a touching family reunion with lots of bleating, confirming Torvald Ask.

- Touching, also says Vetlefjellet Farstad on the happy end of the story.

- He captured the drama with his new camera.
