curb-dazzle A cow on a road

It was just after dawn

when people are opening their curtains to let the light in .

when the dairy cow accidentally walked onto the road.

The strange black pavement dazzled him

so much that he was curious to step off of the curb onto the street.

A man on a cycle drove by with a damning look,but he didn't stop.

Then a cute girl with a backpack filled with teaching curriculum

came around the curve.

Now customarily she never stopped for anyone,

But when she saw the cow on the road she decided to cure him of his confusion

and direct him back onto his field.

Her touch on the cow's side,however,
但她剛碰到奶牛的一側
felt like a dart to the cow and he jumped away quickly.

His rear foot slipped on a datum mark

and he tipped over into the damp grass.

and he started to bleed.

I will add the data about this experience

and remember to never help a cow walking on a road again.

Even the cynic,the girl stood up, abandoned the cow, and walked away.

The cow,meanwhile, stood up by himself, noticed that he had stopped bleeding,
與此同時,奶牛自己站 了起來,它發現自己已 經不再流血,
and quietly went back to his field.

He would remember to avoid strange black pavement in the future!
