Our Cow

We bought a cow at the state fair and loaded her on the truck to take her home, but halfway there we had a stroke of good luck. We hit a rock, and from the crash she bounced away down the hill, she mooed and made an awful splash in the stream beside the mill. The water was still awful cold, the cow already freezing… resisting as we roped and pulled her breathing turned to sneezing. My father said this won’t end well, he couldn’t have been more wrong. He thought the cow, we ought to sell but changed his mind before long. We took her home, our shook up cow, unloaded her in the barn. We thought we’d let her sleep for now then see to her in the morn’. The next day, just around sunrise, the cow already awake. I milked, and to my great surprise, I got a frozen milkshake! 05/02/15
