We live in a big city. Our home was located in a small residential side street, like many, that is just connected at one end to a big populated commercial street. The landscape was mainly flat but just after passing our front yard, it had an incline while going towards the big street. We possessed a cow. Big, very gentle cow. We regularly would have the cow standing in the walkway in front of the house. She liked it there because she would be able to see the people passing by and she will be watching from afar the activity she could catch on the big street. She was so tranquil there that she looked as if she was parked in front of the house.
For some reason, sometimes the cow would attempt to go up the incline but it meant a lot of effort for her and she would have a hard time trying to get to the top. For her to climb that part of the walkway we would have to push her. That morning we helped her and she conquered the top of the incline and she was looking kind of happy. We noticed this because she was a very nice and quiet cow and like a pet for us and we were observing her. Was then that she decided she wanted to go back down to the front of the house. That concerned us because her back legs were unsteady, not very sturdy and she looked like she was going to fall. But she didn’t; she came walking down slowly but surely and she got it, she did come down. But then again, she did not stop there. As soon as she was down the incline, she turned around and started going all the way up by herself, kind of like having momentum. And there she was, all the way at the top as if thinking “ok, I can do this”.
To our amazement still she didn’t stop at the top of the incline but continued towards the big street. Walking steadily and happy she got to the street and stood in the middle of the walkway at the corner. Now, the big street was as populated as the strip in Las Vegas and the cow with her big horns and her whole presence was standing in the corner, and the whole big amount of people that were there, trying to go across the street or walking up and down the walking way, even the people in cars, everybody was amazed seeing a life cow “parked” in there and she was really happy because that was what she wanted, to see everybody and all the action on the big street.
