On a green lawn in a flowering garden
There lived Lamb, meek and careless.
He joyfully grazed in peace and quiet,
Not knowing about the harsh world reigning around.
But the day came when Apocalypse appeared
With a formidable face and withering fiery breath.
He swept through all the forests and lands,
Leaving behind grief, destruction and ashes.

Lamb was frightened and trembled,
Seeing catastrophic devastation and total chaos.
He was looking for salvation and shelter,
Not knowing how to survive this terrible ordeal.
Apocalypse saw Lamb and stopped,
Surprised by his purity and innocence.
He approached him and looked with interest.
Lamb stopped being afraid and trembling.
"Little Lamb, what are you doing here?" -
Apocalypse asked loudly.
"I just looking for a safe place," -
Lamb replied with hope in eyes.
Apocalypse gently touched Lamb,
And suddenly his face changed.
Apocalypse became a merciful and wise old man,
He discovered the true purpose of his power.
"Little Lamb, you are a symbol of hope,
You show that there is kindness in the world.
You can overcome fear and destruction
And restore order and harmony!"
Lamb realized how big his role in the universe,
He became a symbol of peace and rebirth of life,
And also a voice of hope and love for all people,
Capable of changing the course of history.
So the fable about Lamb and Apocalypse says,
That a mere touch can not only fatally infect,
Or permanently cripple, or even kill,
Or corrupt and defame even the purest righteous,
But also vice versa, a touch can uplift,
It can re-educate any evil and turn it into good.
Although, to be honest, I have never encountered such cases.
But I was asked to describe such a story,
And they promised such a huge fee that I could not resist,
And I shamelessly lied to all of you, sorry.
