Excerpt:
Once upon a
time........there was a farm in Ohio with lots of Cows. They all had many spots
to be proud of. One day a truck pulled into the farm. The back door opened and
out came a new Cow. The other Cows were so excited to have a new friend!
But as the new Cow came out of the truck the
other Cows looked on in shock!!! "Oh My!’’ ’’What on Earth?!"
It seems the new Cow, whose
name was Mary Elizabeth, had no spots!
’’Where are your spots??!!’’ Demanded the Cow
called Anna Belle. ’’I don’t have any spots. I was born spotless, you see.’’
Well, Anna Belle and the other Cows were horrified.
(Not mad, you had to be very careful about mad)
