The girl with the treats

I was born. There were a lot of people around me. They are watching and smiling. They looked at me for 5 minutes and left. The only person who stayed was the girl. What she is trying to do? She is still looking at me? Really, what you want from me? She is waving her hands. LOL. What I have to do? Hope she knows that we cannot wave back? What are you waiting for, I cannot shake your hand. She is still waving. Oh my God. I am not blind. Are you waiting for reply? She said 'such a cute calf. I am seeing such a beautiful baby cow for the first time'. Thank you. I was happy to hear that. 

I am the second calf. There is the first calf.They call her with some human name. I don't like it. Hope I'll get a better nickname. As I said before I don't like her name so I would call her Humancow. Humancow hated me from the very first day. 

At the beginning I was fed only with milk. Then I started to feel some interesting smells. It was grass that was around other cows. I started to smell them. People saw it and started to bring some grass. Other cows left the place where we lived early in the morning and came back later. But I was not allowed to get out. It was cool at the beginning. Humancow is not trying to kill me or hurt me since she is not there during the day. But after some time I realized that I also want to get out. I started to wake up early as other cows and wait for people near the door with others. It didn't worked out. Then I realized that I am something that makes Fatty come back home by herself at the end of the day. I was her calf. I am the reason she comes back. I heard earlier baby cows like me were allowed out. But after couple of hours as older cows leave the place. Because back then there were more houses with cows and all cows were sent little bit further and controlled by one person. So, calves could eat grasses near houses. But now there is not a lot of cows over there. Noone is controlling them anymore. So cows could be near houses. So, cows and their calves could get together and run away from their owners as Ferdinand did. That's why I am waiting here. So lets get back to grasses. The girl started to bring me some green staff. But I didn't know what it was and what to do with it. The first thing I thought was 'it smells good. Should I smell it?'. Then girl took small portion of this good smelling grass and gave it tome. I wanted to eat it. I ate it and I loved it. When I chew the grass for the first time girl shouted "chewing the grass". Like it was magic. She was so happy for that. 

After some time she took me to garden. It was fun. I run away from her. She lost control over me all the time. She was clumsy. Running away from her gave me adrenaline. She always had some little rectangular thing with her. Whenever I ate something she started to take out that rectangular stuff from her pocket and started to wave like she did when I was born. By the way she didn't gave me a nickname. She loved to give me different things to taste. One day she brought me some sweet things. When she speak to me as usual like I could answer her I realized that she ate this thing too. She smelled like the treat she brought to me. It was fruit peels. But why she is keeping to try to talk with me. I don't speak human language. I could only judge how she is failing to do things. She is funny. Sometimes she brings water. But she leaves the door open. And I don't like to loose my opportunity to have fun and get out of the place and make her run in panic. Whenever she brings me treats she calls me 'moh-moh'. But it is not how you should call the cows. It is for horses. Is she trying to make from me a horse. But I came near her whenever she do so, because she do so when she brings fruits and I love fruits. I think I could be horse for some time because of these sweet treats. 

This girl tries to show me that she loves me all the time. But I heard that she loves cow's meat. Your love is very questionable, human. I heard there were some horses before and she loved to watch newborn horses. Hope your love to horses are purerer than your love to cows. And you don't like to eat them. She said she hates horse meat. At least for horses your love is not dangerous. 

This year the Humancow was sent to farm nearby. She came back after one year. I was also sent to another farm and came back afer one year. The next year there were another newborn calf. He was brave for newborn calf. The girl called him with some English name. Norton. He was unstoppable and strong. When he was 2 months he started to breath heavily whenever something was not as he wanted. He was 5 months when he was allowed to get out with older cows. He butted heads with cows that were twice bigger than him. He never gave up. Even Humancow was afraid of him at the beginning. When he was 1 year old the girl was afraid to enter to the place where he was. But she loved him. I think because he had the braveness that she didn't have. One day she brought flowers to Norton. I guess she watched Ferdinand and believed that all bulls save the flowers. But Norton tried to eat that flower. Turned out that he was Valiente. What you expected? That your bull is kind like imaginary cartoon character. That was cartoon. Also there were another newborn heifer calf. But I barely remember her. I don't even know if she had a nickname. She was Humancow's calf. 

By the way last year Humancow was sent to farm nearby since she had no babycow lastyear. Heifers are sent to farms to make sure that they will not get lost. But she was sent to bad farm. I guess I was luckier in terms of that. The farm where I was sent was not bad. She was sick when she came back. I guess farmer didn't liked to clear the place where cows were living and didn't take care of cows at all. That's why she was very sick. But she rememebered me very well unlike Fatty. She remembered that I am younger than her even if I was physically bigger than her now. And I was still afraid of her. Fatty didn't recognized me. She thought that I came from another place and always run away from me. I didn't wanted to remind her that I was her second calf because here the strongest one gets more hay. So, I was afraid of Humancow. Humancow was afraid of Fatty. But Fatty was afraid of me. That was the strange powertriangle that we had here. Drinking the water was also fun. Whenever Humancow is drinking water I cannot do it. She shows her horn and I run away. Whenever I drink the water Fatty could not come near the water. If Fatty is there Humancow couldn't drink water. I guess Fatty don't remember that Humancow is her first calf either. She hates her. And she is afraid of her own second calf. 

When I came back from the farm I saw someone was running towards us. I started to feel the fruit smells again that I didn't felt for a long time. It was the girl, the girl with treats. I was so happy to eat fruits again. So I started to smell and look for fruits. She thought that I was happy to see her. But only thing I remembered about her was the fruits. I understood that it was her only when she shouted "moh-moh" again. But I pretend that I like her because she gave me extra hay sometimes. She is kind. Wait, but can I call her kind if I know that she could kill me and eat my meat commenting delicious. 

Also it is fun whenever she tries to take care of us. She is clumsy. She leaves the doors open, newborn cows run away, she runs away from Norton, spills the water she brought. She opens the door to the place where hays are kept. She has to take the hay and gave it to cows. That is the funniest part to watch. And Fatty always gets into that place where hays are kept. Yes Fatty is really strong and big. I think that it is because she eats everything. Even if it doesn't seem like food she tastes it. Nothing could stand between food and Fatty. She could open the doors with her head. And her head is stronger than two hands of the girl. I don't like to be part of such crime. So I just wait untill Fatty wins the fight. When Fatty gets into we all go after her. 

Usually I saw the girl from time to time. She always says that I look like cows from milk commercials. She promises me to take me with her to Switzerland. I don't think that it is possible. Cows here don't live long. She always gives compliments to my long eyelashes? Whenever I ate leaves from the tree she tooks the rectangle thing out of pocket.

When I came back she took this rectangle thing and started to check if it is really me by comparing my current look to the old photograph of me. 

The next year I had newborn bull calf. She called him Jack. And Fatty had newborn heifer cow. She looked much like me. The girl repeated all the time that fourth calf of Fatty looks more like me than Jack. She called her Beauty. 

We get up early in summer and wait near the door. The girl get out of the house. I am seeing for the first time how she gets up early. I hoped she would open the door so we can leave this place and eat the grass. But she did some exercises and disappeared. That summer was the last time I saw the girl. After we were fed with a lot of grain. Then one day Norton disappeared. The next Humancow. Then Beauty and Jack. I don't know why but last month we were not allowed to leave the place. One day the door was opened and the big car was waiting here. I thought maybe it is girl. What if she really wants to take me to Switzerland? I looked at the people to find the girl among them. But she wasn't there...
