Not so long ago in a far off land lived a farmer whose cow was getting close to having her precious calf. This wasn't just any cow, it was the sweetest most delightful cow you will ever meet. It was also the farmers most favorite cow.
The farmer was very nervous because this was her first cow and there was bad weather coming....She worried "would it be warm enough in the cozy barn for the baby cow?"..." Was she prepared with all the essential tools, towels, and bottles?"
As the time grew closer, and the weather colder, the farmer worked furiously, fixing drafts and stocking hay. She kept the stall full of fluffy straw bedding and the water bucket full to the rim with fresh water
"surely it will happen today" she thought. So she checked on her momma cow every half hour.....nothing. Puzzled the farmer sent pictures and updates to her farm friend who said "Be patient!" "Don't give up!"
So the farmer did what any concerned farmer would do.....She made up a cozy bed next to her sweet little cow's stall and spent the night.
As the temperature dropped and the wind blew the farmer got more worried but that smart cow knew what she was doing. She was waiting. In the early morning as the sun came streaming in the windows warming her stall she went into labor.
The farmer woke up to soft mooing coming from her sweet momma cow. The baby was finally coming! The farmer sat up in her sleeping bag on her makeshift bed and that sweet momma cow delivered her calf right at the farmers feet.
The farmer cried as she cleared the baby's face and cried even more when she saw how excited her momma cow was to see her baby.
As the momma cow cleaned her precious baby her soft but excited moos were filling the barn. By 10am the baby was standing and nursing and all was well.
The end
