27. Waiting for a
reply...
The cow wasn't sure how long it would take to get a response from the author. The cow really wanted to get a copy of that missing page. So, the wait began. One day. No reply. Two days. No reply. One week. No reply. The cow wondered if he would ever get a reply. Two weeks. No reply. Three weeks. No reply. One month. No reply. About a month after he sent the letter, the cow came home from school and his mom called out, "You got a reply!" The cow was very happy. He was even happier when he went into the living room and found a stranger sitting there. It was the author! The author apologized for not answering sooner. He explained that he was on vacation and didn't get the letter until a couple of days before. Instead of writing a reply, he thought it would be easier to come and talk. What he had to say was even more puzzling. The cow was shocked with what he heard. |
