The play is actually two separate stories presented sequentially. The first is a non-biblical story about a thief who steals a sheep from three shepherds. He and his wife attempt to deceive the shepherds by pretending the sheep is their son. The shepherds are fooled at first; however, they later discover the deception. At this point, the storyline switches to the familiar one of the three shepherds learning of the birth of Christ by an angel, and being told to go to Bethlehem, where they offer gifts to the Christ child.
