Molly the Champ Cow
There’s a new comer in Mr John’s farm. It’s Molly the cow. Her presence changed the atmosphere around the farm with the never ending rumors. She sure came with a handful of issues. The word was, she was exiled from her old farm for making too much commotions; kicking the bucket of milk, spoiling the piles of straw in the barn, and singing aloud all night long, making other cows couldn’t get asleep even for a minute.
Not only that, some also said that Molly was stray from the pack. That’s why she came alone, not like normal new comers that would come along the pack. So what did Molly say about all these gossips? Nothing. None those issues seemed to concern her. “Say all you want,” she lightly replied when a cow came to ask.
Of all those issues, there’s one thing for certain. She ran fast! One week after her arrival, there was a race cow tournament. Molly was registered in minor category. Her small body moved very fast and agile, got pass all obstacles, leaving other juveniles way behind. Shanny the running champion must let her have the trophy. Mr John’s daughter was very proud of Molly, she hugged her around the arena.
“What’s the secret? How could you run so fast like a horse?“ Lolly, a suspicious cow who had been watching her, whispering. Molly didn’t have a secret. All she did was focus on exercising. She would chose to run around to train the muscle on her legs. Aware of her small body always being a target for other cows, Molly determined to show that there’s a big spirit beneath it.
However Molly closing in too deep from the world. She closed her eyes and ears, not wasting time to deal with things she would take unimportant, such as discussing her origin just to stop other cows’ gossip. That’s Molly, the champion cow who almost had no friend in the farm.
