Driving Cows

A little girl Cow bumps into something interesting.

Once there was a little girl cow that knew how to eat, sleep, walk and look around.

Every day, as she ate, loud noises would take her attention from eating and she would lift her head to see what it was. Sometimes she would just barely catch a glimpse of what was making the noise, but it would be gone before she got a good look at it.

One day, as she was eating and walking a bit, her head bumped into something very hard with a loud "thud".

She stopped eating and looked at it. She smelled it.

It didn't look like a cow, and it didn't smell like a cow.

It didn't look like a tree, or smell like a tree.

She decided to walk around it. There were hard parts and soft parts. There were even shiny parts, and very smelly parts.

She decided to taste part of it that was sticking out a little.

As she bit it, a large part of it swung around like a gate. She got out of the way just in time.

Then she put her head inside of it and it smelled very different than the outside, and there were very soft parts, and some harder parts.

As she put her head in further, her horn pushed against something and it made a loud sound, like a moo, but sharper. It surprised her and she almost decided to leave.

But she didn't. She bumped her head on it again and the sound happened again.

Bu this time, some of the other cows in the pasture were lifting their heads, but they kept on eating.

She realized that she had heard this sound before. Sometimes she heard it at the same time as the loud sound that passed every day.

Well, she decided to go a little further. She pushed her head in, then her bottom, then she was all the way in, and her front hook accidentally turned something and pushed something else and another noise happened.

This surprised her and she stomped her back hoof and suddenly, she was moving.

But just as soon as she had started moving, "thump", and she stopped moving suddenly.

She squeezed herself out, and walked to the front to see what had stopped her.

It was something large.

She smelled it.

It smelled like her dad. It was her dad.

Oh, no. She hit her dad.

She thought quickly and ran around and back inside and pushed her head against the thing that made noise.

She did it enough times to annoy even the most patient bull.

Well, it worked. Dad suddenly got up and started stomping around, shaking his head.

"What hit me?" he said.

"Uh, well, it was me," she said.

"With what?" he asked her.

"With this thing here," she said looking at it.

He looked it over. Smelled it. Licked it. Snorted at it.

"What is it?" he asked her.

"I don't know," she said. "But check this out."

And she pushed herself inside.

"What are you doing, get out of there," he said.

So she got out.

"It's OK, Dad," she said, "I was in it earlier."

"Yes, I know," he said as he frowned at her.

"What does it do?" he asked.

"Well, it makes noise, and it moves," she said.

He looked at it a bit closer.

"OK, let's see if I can fit into it,” he said.

And he pushed his head into it. He accidentally pressing against the noisy part and jumped back a little, but just enough to poke his horn straight up through the roof. He yanked at it for a bit, and it came loose.

He shot a glance back at his daughter who was clapping her hooves together and doing a little dance.

He pushed himself it again and squeezed his bottom in, then scooted all the way over, leaving the first seat empty.

"Come on in," he said to her.

"Really?" she asked.

"See if you can get it to go again," he said to her.

So she pushed her head in, being careful not to hit the noisy part, and then squeezed her bottom in.

As she did this, she accidentally turned something with her hoof, and as she pulled her hoof back, she popped something up. It startled her again and she stomped her back hoof down, and off they went.

"Woah! Woah! Hey! Woah! Wow! Hey! Woohoo!" dad yelled, still a little anxious.

She leaned over to look out the opening and pushed the round thing in the front, and they started moving back toward the smooth part of the ground.

When they got to the smooth part, she pushed her hoof down and they went even faster.

They were moving straight and fast, sticking their heads out of the openings.

Dad looked over to her and said, "This is fun."

She looked back at him and said, "I love you dad."

Then suddenly he said, "Make the noise, make the noise!"

And just as they passed a pasture with a bunch of cows eating, she honked the horn like crazy.

They were yelling, "Woohoo!" and "Look at us!" and "We're making that noise!"

Most of the cows didn't lift their heads fast enough, but they did it every time they past a pasture full of cows.

After a while, they started slowing down.

Dad said, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, it's doing it by itself," she said.

And then it stopped moving.

They sat there for a little while, and then finally decided to get out.

"Well, that was fun," he said.

That's when they noticed they were right in the middle of a place with a bunch of other "noisy-moving things", but the cows that were getting out of them were really small and skinny very colorful and walked on their back hooves.

Dad and his daughter just walked over to the grassy part behind the colorful barn and started eating grass.

The End
