Tongue and heart

It was in the early morning. I went to see cow in his cage.

“Hello cow, I have something to talk about with you.”

“What is it?” Cow said.

“I heard that Robert is not dead yet. I want to bring him back.”

“It's a good idea.”

“But he is seriously sick. We have to take care of him.”

“I don’t have time. You do it.”

“I can, but at least you should help, like finding medicine etc.”

The cow thought for a few seconds then he said, “I don’t think it’s a good idea. Though we try to cure him, he might not be able to make it. It’s a waste of energy and time.”

“But if we have him, he can protect us from the wolf.”

“He is old now. Though he is cured, he might not be able to fight the wolf and he would not live longer.” 

“You just help get medicine for me. If you do, I will grow garlic chives for you.”

“It does not mean I don’t want to help, but like I mentioned, it’s a waste of energy and time.”

“Okay, bye.”

I left and went to see duck. I told her like I said with the cow. She gave the same answer as the cow’s. I went to twin piggies, they said the same as the cow and the duck.

After hearing all of their comments, I returned home. Actually, I already took Robert in. He was lying next to my door. 

Look at him. He was weak. His pair of eyes looked at me saying something that only my heart could hear it. I didn’t say anything to him. I just smiled, then I took equipment and materials from my warehouse and started building a house dog. Next, I took Robert to have a bath and brought him to his house.

Today, the crow came to take the rose apple late. When she arrived, I said to her, “Help get medicine for me and I will give rose apples to you for seven more days.”

“Okay,” the crow said.

Love opportunity

“What are you looking at?” I asked.

“We are looking at the son of the master of cow,” duck said.

“Why are you looking at him?”

“He has a broken heart,” twin piggies said.

“Why?”

“He likes the daughter of master of twin piggies,” cow said.

“But the daughter of our master goes to another guy. Today, she moved in with him,” twin piggies said.

“He is pitiful,” cow said.

“Why didn’t your master’s daughter love him? He is a good guy,” duck said.

“How can we know?” Twin piggies said.

What they said, I didn’t know. I just knew that I heard the daughter of the master of twin piggies called with her friend. She said that she liked the son of the master of cow, but when she went to talk with him, he didn’t speak with her and went away. She really tried to approach him, but he showed through his action and facial expression that he didn't like her. I saw it with my own eyes. It was not once, it happened all the time - the girl really tried to approach the man, but the man ran away. I heard she told her friend that she even contacted him on social media, but he blocked her. I even saw the woman cry, she cried very hard. I heard she told her friend that she thought the guy hated her so much. She felt she was unwanted. It has been many months. Now, I heard that she met another guy, I was happy for her. However, I had a big question mark when I heard from my friends that the son of the master of the cow was sad when he heard the girl was with someone else. He should be happy as he didn’t like her. From today he would not need to run away because she would not come to bother him anymore. Why was he sad?

They are pig’s friends

“Hello,” cow said.

“Hello,” I said.

“Can you give me your garlic chives?”

“Sure.” 

I ran to my garden and picked some garlic chives for him. 

“No, no. I mean I want to eat,” cow said.

“Yes. You can eat some and take some to grow near your cage. When you are hungry, you can eat it immediately,” I said.

“I don’t know how to grow it.”

“It’s easy. Just put it in the ground and it can grow on its own.”

“Let's keep it with you. When I want to eat, I will come to you.”

After saying that, the cow walked off.

In the afternoon, the duck came.

“Hello pig, I heard you gave garlic chives to cow,” she said.

“Yes. Here, you can take some to grow. It is not hard, just put it in the ground and it can grow on its own. When you are hungry, you can eat it,” I said.

“No, pig. I just want to know if you have the garlic chives. It’s good you have it. Keep it with you. When I need food, I will come to you to eat it.”

After telling me, she took off.

Later on, the twin piggies arrived.

“We heard from cow and duck that you have garlic chives. Can you give us some? Our master gave us food but it was not enough,” they told.

“Yes of course. The garlic chives are easy to grow. Put it in the ground and it can grow on its own. Having it, you will no longer worry about not having enough food.”

“Well, thank you so much. We are too lazy to grow it, we just want to eat it. You are kind, so you grow it in your garden. When we are not full, we will come to you.”

Death is rebirth

Caw, caw.

I opened the door.

“Hello, can I help you?”

Hearing my question, the crow shrank her eyes. “I come to take my rose apple,” she said.

“Oh, sorry. I forget. Wait a minute.”

I took the fruit then gave it to her.

“Are you okay?” Crow said.

I shook my head and sighed.

“What’s the matter?” 

“Well,” I said with a sad expression, “I just heard that Robert was dispelled from the farm. He is very old. I think he cannot make it outside. So, last night I prayed for him hoping that he will be better in his next life.”

“That old dog! He is not dead yet. He is sleeping under a kapok tree in the west,” she told before she took the fruit and flew away.

Following, I hurriedly got out of the house and walked to the west.
