FULL SUMMARY:
Chapter 8 titled "The Somewhat Unimpressive Kidnapping of Dolores" presents Luan's audacious move to steal a sheep named Dolores from the church bazaar. Amid the busy setting focused on various activities; no one notices him as he approaches the sheep pens. Despite feeling guilty, he proceeds with his plan and tries to coax Dolores out of the pen but with no success. A young boy unintentionally aids him by guiding Dolores out and even maintains his helpful demeanor, completely unaware of Luan's illicit intentions. As Luan leads Dolores away from the bazaar, he encounters mostly unassuming townsfolk while navigating through rows of parked cars, and successfully hides her amongst them. His relief is palpable as he spots his grandmother arriving in her Land Rover and immediately guides Dolores towards it. The grandmother is stunned when Luan arrives with a sheep, naively believing he switched his pet pigs for a sheep. Despite his guilty expression, Luan pleads his case and persuades his grandmother to load Dolores onto the Land Rover. Before agreeing, the grandmother lays out her conditions - Luan must actively converse with her owing to their strained family bonds caused by his parents. She also firmly insists that if questioned, she would deny having any knowledge of where the sheep came from and that Luan will be responsible for cleaning the vehicle in case Dolores soils it. Unaware of what else transpires, a police vehicle drives by, increasing Luan's sense of urgency.

Daarna probeer Luan om die skaap te vuur deur 'n reeks geparkeerde motors en die straat af na waar hy sy ouma se opmerklike geel Land Rover aan die eind van die straat parkeer sien. Terwyl hy wag vir sy ouma, ondersoek Luan die vreemdheid van hierdie kinders wat met katte speel terwyl hy Delores agter 'n klomp motors skuil. Toe sy ouma uiteindelik arriveer, kyk sy verbaas na Delores en skynbaar skepties oor Luans verduideliking. Luan probeer om sy ouma oor te haal om die skaap te red, in hulspan om Delores se depressiewe voorkoms. Sy ouma stem toe om hom met die skaap te help, maar vereis dat Luan meer saam hom gesels; daarna gee sy hom 'n waarskuwing dat as Delores in die Land Rover sou ontlast, sou hy dit skoon moes maak.
