The Story about Miracle the Cow

[geekgrl]

Well, I know most all of you are compassionate to animals and love animals, so I thought I'd share this story about my cow, Miracle, with you.
I grew up on a farm in Eastern Kentucky, so we've had animals of all sorts - from goats to cows to chickens to pigs.
When I was in 5th or 6th grade, one of our cows gave birth. She died during childbirth, and the baby was paralyzed in its legs.
My dad was going to shoot the baby, thinking it would die, starve to death, etc...
We were fighting and fighting. I begged and begged him not to shoot this poor baby. Finally, with my last plea, tears in my eyes, I said "Would you shoot me if I were crippled?"
That got to him - he put the gun back in the cabinet, locked it up, and turned back to me. He said, "Fine, but this is your responsibility." Every day, we bottle fed the calf, and we exercised his poor little unusable legs. This went on for months.... and it looked like he'd never walk.
Months after we took this on, we went out to feed him. To our suprise, the cow was standing. He was wobbly, but he was standing!!!! Everyday, he got stronger and stronger, and we kept on exercising his legs. Finally, he became a very big strong cow, and lived a perfectly happy life.
So, that's the story about my cow, Miracle.

This is a neat story. What does a cow with a perfectly happy life do anyway?

Touching. Animals are so innocent like small kids-its we adults that make this world so difficult.

Good luck to your "friend".

BTW, isn't cow a female animal and bull a male?

when i was teaching chinese students, i picked up the bad habit of mixing he/she because in chinese they don't use he/she

I was reading the story waiting for the punchline! It sure sounded like the lead up to a great joke!

My neighbor has lots of problems bad luck but had one piece of good luck.. His pig homer!!! You see he was plowing the field when his right wheel hit the ditch. The tractor roled over on him pinning him to the ground. After several hours his pig homer came over and dug and dug with homers help he was freed from his near death encounter. About a year later the house cought fire and the pig Squeeled and pawed at the door until my friend was awakend from his artificially heavy carbon monoxide induced sleep. He was able to wake up the rest of the family and saved them all. So after hearing this story I wondered why the pig only had three legs. and he asked me would you eat a wonderful pig like that all at once.
