Family

drawing of cow

I would like to write about my childhood memories. I have one brother and one sister. My brother is older than me. We had a lot of fun together when we were children. When we were children, we had cows, sheep, birds and hens.

Once we took the cows to the pasture. We took some simple food with us and we called our friends to go with us too. We started playing and forgot about the cows.

Suddenly, I looked left and right but I didn't see any cows around us. I went forward to my brother and told him about the cows. We agreed to search together. We searched and searched until evening but without results. We were thinking "What should we do"? What could we say to our parents? Eventually, we decided to return home, but we were scared of our father.

We entered from the back door. Suddenly, I had an idea and I asked my siblings “What do you think if we look at the barn?” We went to take a look in the barn. When we entered, we found the cows asleep. Oh my God, they knew their way back home!  What smart and loyal cows!

We laughed and laughed, but none of us told our parents about that embarrassing story.
