Short Story

Push Pop the Orange Cow Way down in the meadow green, there lived an orange cow named Push pop. Now Push pop wasn’t your average cow because well, he was orange. He was the only orange cow where he was from. Push pop didn’t have any friends. All of the other farm animals made fun of him and would not let him play. This made Push pop very sad. He spent his days grazing the green meadows and standing by the pond under the biggest oak tree he had ever seen. Day after day, he did the same things over and over again. One day he noticed some new animals arriving. Push pop was not a happy cow. He just knew that there would be some more animals to make fun of him for being orange. Despite how Push pop felt, he was going to greet every animal and make them feel welcome in his home. While watching the animals get off the truck he noticed a very funny looking cow. It was a cow of a different color. As this cow lumbered off the truck, Push pop was excited to see that it was a red cow. He just knew that he could become friends with this red cow. As planned Push pop went up to everyone to say hello, but most of them just turned their noses up to him. This was something that Push pop was used to. He waited to approach the red cow last in hope of making a friend. On his way over to talk to the red cow, he was thinking of several things to say, but just didn’t know what. So he just said, “Hi, I’m Push pop, what’s your name?” The red cow stared for a moment and said, “Hi, My name is Cherry and I would love to be friends.” Oh, how those words excited Push pop. He finally had a best friend. From that day forward Push pop and Cherry did everything together and neither of them ever felt lonely again.
