I am rushing back because of my best friend<br />
Louise. I can hardly wait to see her and tell<br />
her about all the things that happened during<br />
the day.<br />
Luckily, she doesn’t live far away. In fact, she<br />
lives in a pasture just behind the house where<br />
I live with my mum and dad, my little brother<br />
Philip and our cat Molly.<br />
“Well, well, well,” I can hear you say,<br />
“your best friend lives in a pasture?”<br />
Yes, because my best friend isn’t a person.<br />
She’s a cow. She is the most beautiful,<br />
friendly and wonderful cow in the world.<br />
Come with me and I’ll show you Louise.<br />
