Lola the Cow
There was legends of a magical baby cow who was born and given to a small pasture family of cows. This baby was Lola. She was a beautiful Highland cow. She was given to a family who could not have kids. The family was very blessed and the whole town was there to support them. The whole town talked about how much of a troublemaker she was but her parents knew that she was something special. Lola loved to pick flowers and talk to everyone she met. You could say she was a social butterfly. Her favorite thing was to sing to the flowers that she so adored. She would sing:
" Grow, grow, grow beautiful flowers. Turn into one I'd
like to pick. Then I'll pick, pick, pick you all day long."
Lola would often chew on the flowers that her mother planted. Her mom, Susan, would always tell her to spit them out because she worked so hard for them. This often aggravated her mother. Her mother had it when Lola once again chewed on her tulips that she worked so hard on. Her mother came over and reached into her mouth to pull out the flowers, but she noticed something bizarre.
Susan: Oh darling you are so special, I reached into your mouth to pull out the flowers and I saw everything. I saw the stars, the moon and everyone on earth. Who did you come from? I have always known that you a special cow but I had no clue that you were going to be this special.
Lola: Mom, what are you talking about, you are crazy. I just ate your flowers, you should be punishing me not making me feel special.
Susan: I think you really are going to be something. Just you wait. You will see in a few years. Even though all the people think you are a pain in the butt. You will mature and be a great leader.
One day some evil men wanted to take Lola because they have heard rumors of Lola being special. The evil men tried to take Lola but she kicked and used her might to fight off the evil men. She patted herself on the back for fighting off big burly guys. The whole town was so excited to have a hero on their hands. The evil men had to go back to their king and tell him that a girl had beat them up and that this girl isn't something to mess with. The king was angry and knew that one day this cow would kill him because of his dreams. His dreams said that a girl from a small village that was adopted would become strong and powerful. He saw that the people would love her more than him. He did not like what his dreams told him. He began to plan other ways to try to kill her. Over the years the king kept trying and trying but every time he failed.
Legends tell us that she killed him after many times that he tried to kill her. She took over the thrown and ruled with grace and love.
Author's Note:
I loved the beginning of Krishna's story and how he was a young boy. Everyone knew he was a bit of a troublemaker but they also knew that he was special. His mother loved and adored him. She saw into his mouth and saw the universe. I loved this description and wanted to put it into my own story. He also was being attacked by a king who had a vision that that was the man who was going to kill him. I wanted to write about the cow because that is what Krishna loved. I changed the character from a boy to a girl cow. I really like how I combined the stories but also made it my own. I wanted to make it a strong woman who could defeat a king because of his jealously. I am sure we all caused a little trouble growing up whether or not we were special or not. I also changed what they ate so that it related to that specific species. I love how these stories really tied into each other and I think it was a great way to tell this story in a more relaxed way. Thank you fro reading my story. Hope you enjoy
