Mr. Forgetful's first front cover.

Mr. Forgetful has a short memory. One day he has to remember a message for Farmer Fields to say that there's a sheep loose in the lane. He tries to remember the message, but when he makes his way to him, he says, "There's a goose asleep in the rain." Fortunately, he remembers it upon coming across the sheep, but still gets the message muddled up. Instead, he shows Farmer Fields the sheep and they all have a good laugh.
