Flood Warning (2012)
“Mom said. “The cows will have to walk, and you’ll have to lead them.”
Tom’s eyes widened. “Lead them down the road?”
“There’s no other way,” said Mom.
As Tom and Mom loaded the truck with camping, cooking and milking supplies, Tom worried. How would he get the cows to walk down the road? And how would he get them to go where he wanted them to go?
He thought about the group of cows milling behind the mother cow as she called to her stranded calf. That mother cow was the leader. The other cows al...ways followed her to the barn when it was time for milking. And she had followed her calf.
Tom smiled. He had an idea for how to move the cows.
When the truck was loaded and ready to go, Mom tacked a note for Dad to the back door.
Tom found the mother cow and her calf. Once more, he tied the rope around the calf’s neck. He took hold of the loose end and gave a gentle tug.
“Maa!” cried the calf, resisting Tom’s pull.
Tom held up a bundle of tender, sweet grass he had picked beside the driveway.MoreLess
