 |  A place where I fight to survive |
| The sun started to break over the horizon, letting all of the animals of Old McDonald's farm know it was time to rise and shine. The rooster did his job and set out to yell, a "Cockle-Doodle-Doo!" When his voice caught in his throat. He only managed to get out a "Cocca-Doo-Doo". "What's wrong Ronny the Rooster?" Said a concerned, Darleen the Dairy Cow. "My throat is sore. I cockle every morning, and what thanks do I get? I make sure Farmer McDonald is up in time for all of his chores, and not once has he thanked me! "Oh, Ronny, I know what you mean. My teats are so sore, from him yanking on them every day, Soft, gentle hands my sore teats! They're calloused and rough, and he yanks like he's trying to pull them off. And never once has he thanked me for supplying milk to the whole family! Cherry, Sherry, and Charlene the Chickens clucked up, "We're with you both! We lay eggs every day to make sure they have enough for breakfast and to cook with. It's not easy spitting out eggs every single evening! Not one time as he reached his hand into our private sanctuary has he apologized or thanked us!" "Well, what should we do about it," said Ronny. "Let's fly the coop!" Voiced Charlene. "Well, how are we supposed to do that? Asked Darleen. "I know," said Sherry, "We'll stuff the gate lock with hay, and when he closes the gate, it won't lock. Then when he goes in for lunch, we can make our escape. Shhhh... he's coming." They all quickly broke from their circle and mosied on like nothing was happening. Farmer McDonald went on about his morning chores, never knowing that his farm animals were planning the great escape! When the lunch bell rang, Farmer McDonald went out, closing the gate behind him. As soon as he went inside, Darleen went over to the gate and pushed it open. The farm animals hastily made their exit and headed straight for the woods. They traveled for about an hour when they found a nice big serene lake. It was surrounded by a lot of tall grass. Perfect for Darleen to eat, and plenty of bugs for the chickens and rooster. When Farmer McDonald came out, he found the gate opened, and his beloved Darleen gone, as well as his dependable and clucky chickens and rooster nowhere in sight. He looked every where, but it was of no use. Three days passed by, and he realized how much he depended on all of them. Determined to find them, he made his way back into the woods. Meanwhile, the farm animals were growing weary. "This freedom isn't all it's cracked up to be." Said Charlene. I still find I must lay eggs, or my belly hurts, "And I still have to Cockle every morning. There's just an obsession within me to do so." "And my teats are so sore. My stomach is so full. I feel miserable!" "Let's go home!" They all said in unison. So, they took off from their place by the lake. But they walked for hours and could not find their way back home. "Oh no, we're lost. What are we going to do?" Cried Sherry. "We're going to keep looking. That's all we can do. Right after we rest," Ronny said. So, they all settled down to rest. Tears escape from their eyes. Suddenly, they hear a noise. They all jump up, running into each other, among the fear and chaos. "There you all are!" Shouted Farmer McDonald. "I have missed you all something terribly. You all do so much for me and the family. I never appreciated you all the way I should. Let's go home. I promise I'll appreciate you all more, and we'll have a treat day every Friday!" The animals were all so very happy. They couldn't quit clucking and mooing. They were going home where they were safe and taken care of. They would appreciate Farmer McDonald more now also! And they all lived happily ever after. (725 Words) Someone left the farm gate open! ▼ |
