Occasionally, some of the sheep got sick. Aunt Sally suspects that they ate some undesirables while grazing and thus charged me to chart the movement of the flock. We would walk over the route and if we find anything like stagnant water or suspicious looking plants, we would avoid that path in future. This is done every month.
"Hey boy, come here. I got something that will make your work easier."
"What is it?"
"From now on, you'll chart the paths of each and every sheep, then mark the zone which they graze."
"And how does this make my work easier?"
"Well, every month I have to imagine which Dolly is at which part of the flock. Is she in front? To the left? To the right? There isn't any information. This will make it easier."
"And ultimately I will mark the suspicious areas on the map for you?"
"Yes."
"And isn't that the same if I just give you my drawings as I have always done?"
"No no, it matters!"
"I can't possibly chart for each and every sheep!"
"Well, you should do you charting as often as you can, not at the last minute!"
"Why every sheep?"
"Then I can see at which point your charting goes wrong."
"But what you care is the final area in the end. What does it matter?"
"No no, it matters!"
