The Heifer Calf


 


 


"Where's dad going with that axe?" asked Juliana while eating her breakfast with her mom.


 


"He's going to the cow house" exclaimed Mrs Harrison.


 


"and why he needs a axe?" asked Juliana.


 


"Well, there was a heifer calf cow born and it's weak and it's nothing for us so he decided to finish with it" replied Mrs Harrison.


 


Juliana stopped eating and started to shout...


 


"You mean he wants to kill it?!" shouted Juliana.


 


"Well, yes..." replied Mrs Harrison holding the egg.


 


"Why?... why dad needs to kill a cow which is just weak and it can't change that even?!" said Juliana getting angry and sad in the same time.


 


"Listen, that cow is not a worth to live... it's just useless" said Mrs.Harrison


 


Juliana ran away outside the house to find her dad then she saw him holding the axe while going to the cow house.


 


"Dad!" shouted Juliana.


 


"Yes    my dear?" replied Mr Harrison gently.


 


"Why do you need to kill the heifer calf?" asked Juliana.


 


Dad was silent for a moment and then he replied...


 


"It's not a worth to live, it's just weak and useless" said Mr Harrison.


 


"I don't want you to kill it! it shall live, it's just like us, humans!" shouted Juliana trying to take the axe from her dad.


 


"What will you do if for example I was born and weak? would you just kill me or throw me somewhere?!" shouted Juliana while crying.


 


Dad was silent for a moment...


 


"No, don't think so, I love you and I wouldn't do that for you" Mr.Harrison said while hugging her daughter.


 


"Please... just please don't kill the cow" said Juliana while crying.


 


Dad also cried with her...


 


"OK, now I understand what's the meaning of life" Mr.Harrison whispered to himself...


 


Juliana went to her and got to sleep...


 


After a day, she woke up and went to eat her breakfast as usual.


 


Dad came beside sat beside her and gave to her a box which she heard something was leaving there...


 


"What's inside that box?" asked Juliana preparing to open it.


 


"It's a little present for you" Mr.Harrison replied.


 


She opened the box and saw an animal... it was a cow, the cow which her father wanted to kill... dad had given it to her to take care.


 


"Oh, thanks dad!" said Juliana.


 


Then she took care of her cow happily ever after...


 


Heifer calf is a baby female cow.

Hey Darren, interesting piece. ^_^ Reminds me of Charlotte's Web. Ever read it?

Aww... you mean that girl named Fen who saved a runt because her father wanted to kill it? 

 

If yes, so I know it, we had a class work sheet in class on it  :)
