Cow Story

(Cow, Under a tree, Different socks)

Jake lived in the middle of no where. He lived in a town that was far from the city, and he lived in a house on a far far from the the town. His family had one cow named Ice Cream, because Jakes little brother had been given the opportunity to name the cow. He named the cow just after his family had made homemade ice cream from the cow’s milk and cream. His whole family loved the cow, she provided enough milk for his whole family, and there was always a lot left over. It was Jakes job to take care of Ice Cream, he didn't mind this, because he used it to his own advantage; twice a week he would take the extra milk to a little store in the town to sell.  He was allowed to keep all the money because he did all the work. He sold it to a health food store. He did this because he could sell it for more, people that shop at health food stores are willing to pay more because they think its going to be good for them. He let his cow walk all over the field and eat the grass. It had no pesticides on it so he could call it organic. He also never gave her anything besides water and grass so he could say that is milk was without any antibiotics or growth hormones. He milked her and made sure it was fresh and clean, he didn’t put it through any processes other than putting it into the bottle. There was no need to pasteurize it because it was always taken to the store within a day.  So Jake’s label read: Organic and Raw, free range cow, no growth hormones or preservatives.

On Saturday he woke up at 5 am; he had slept in!  He was in such a rush that he put on non matching socks and didn't even care. He went outside and saw Ice Cream waiting under a tree. He went to the barn and opened the fridge that was kept there. He counted the bottles of from the day before. There was also some butter that had been frozen, from months before that was ready to sell. Along the side of the fridge door was cheese from the goats. He didn’t get to keep the goat cheese money. When he got all of the dairy products loaded up into the bed of the old pick up he drove up the  lane felling the gravel crunch under the wheels. He drove the whole 20 min into town. He pulled up to the store and had to make five trips inside. As the check was being written by the lady behind the counter jake was not watching the amount that she put on it but he was intensely watching a girl walk into the store. She had long reddish brown curly hair. She looked so beautiful, with red cheeks; as if she spent a lot of time outside. She had a loose sweater and tight jeans with little black boots. She totally looked like somebody who would shop at a health food store. He looked down so as not to stare for too long and he noticed that she had two different socks on just peaking over her boots. He glanced up again, and he knew that she was the prettiest girl that he had ever seen. When he looked up again the most amazing thing happened to him, she smiled at him! Then an even more amazing thing happened she walked behind the counter. He realized that she worked there. As he received his check all he could think of was seeing her again.
