It was a rainy day in the end of summer and grandma Ruth got a letter. It was from Harald and he was wondering if she could possibly take care of his cow for a week while he was in Spain.?Hurray!? yelled Rosita who was visiting her grandma Ruth. Grandma could only agree as she also loved cows.They could imagine the taste of fresh warm milk, of course they would take care of his cow. Stuart, the cat was not as excited and not quite sure of how he felt about cows. But he did like fresh milk.5.They wrote a quick reply to Harald and dressed in their rain gear and drove into town on grandma?s moped to put the letter in the mailbox on time.When they came back home, it was time to say goodnight to the chickens and to have supper.The whole night they spent in front of the fireplace and made plans and wrote lists. There were so many things that needed to be done when a cow was coming for a visit.7.The next morning the world around them and the little cottage was covered in dew, the sky was blue and the sun was shining.Now they had to empty the barn so that the cow had somewhere to stay.Wow! There was so much stuff in the barn which had been collected for years. Grandma Ruth and Rosita carried and carried for two whole days until it was all moved to another building on the farm.Then they had to clean. They got dressed in their finest cleaning outfits and started to clean away all the cobwebs and dust that had gathered during the fifty years the barn had not been used.There were so many spiders too. Rosita, who thought spiders should be viewed from a distance, spent most of her time running around screaming.8.The next day, they had to go to town and buy paint. Then they painted the whole inside of the barn white. Grandma Ruth laughed and said that Rosita was even whiter than the barn and she almost was.She got to take a bath in the big tub that grandma Ruth had in the yard. They played a game where grandma Ruth was a cannibal just about to eat Rosita for lunch. Grandma Ruth was so much fun to play with.9.Later in the evening, the nice farmer from next door stopped by with a bail of hay grandma Ruth bought from him. He was very impressed with how nice they had made the old barn, and said with admiration in his voice that Ruth had a lot of spunk in her for her age. Grandma Ruth and Rosita agreed.10.Now it was time to build a pen because a cow needs one of those. There was a beautiful meadow down by the road but a lot of the fence was missing. After a long search, they finally found the old gate that used hang on the old fence. They drug the gate to the fence and hung it up again. It was almost perfect they thought.
