“Davin Seet! I don’t care. I want the Northern Suburbs development project. If you don’t agree to it, I won’t let you take the kid home.”

Neither Kyle nor Juan knew about the incident with the name, so they went to ask Davin about it.

Juan queried, “Uncle Davin, why did you call her Sheep?”

To get her star stickers, Sheila missed out on a stroke in her family name and drew a sheep in place of her given name. When the teacher gave them back their works, she was confounded by the name. She asked, ‘Who is Sheep?’ And that was how Sheep became Sheila’s name.”
