Farm Maid
Once upon a time there was a young girl named Hope. By the looks of it about 15 yrs old. She felt lonely and discontented all day long. So she went out, and when she returned, she had a thought. She wanted to belong. She went out again to a farm and visitted. She played with the ducks, the sheep, and the chickens. She fed them chicken feed, she fed the sheep sheep feed, and duck feed. She enjoyed it and was happy. She returned home and didn't stay at home very long. She thought "I must see those animals again!" She visitted the barn to feed the chickens. She looked at the pale lamb in the stall still licking its metal fence and felt pity. She gave the poor thing iron pills and watched how it became stronger than ever before, for the first time. She proceeded to the horse's stall and petted the horse. It made horsing noises and she continued to pet it. She gave it a salt lick and watched the happy horse with the salt. "I am feeding this horse salt!" Hope said aloud. This kind young girl was taking care of the barn animals at Farmer Jones' farm. She liked visitting a place she didn't have to clean constantly. The barn was full of magical sparkling animals and pretty wooden walls. And a safe secure fence. She decided the barn could use even more assistance and cleaned the chicken stall, because bird dung is so clean compared to mammal dung. She thought "What the heck?" and cleaned the sheep stall. She sweeped up the dung and hay and replaced the old hay with new hay. She cleaned the horse stall. It was dirtier but didn't smell as bad. She sweeped up the dung and hay and noticed that the horse dung didn't stick as much as the sheep dung. "Well now I know about barns," she thought. She went home for the night and Farmer Jones was happy to see the good-as-new barn was even cleaner than it ever had been before.
Hope revisitted the barn and cleaned up the clean hay, replacing it with new hay. "It will be all right! I'm happy that I feel all right. I will make these animals happy!" she said. She was afraid of being kicked in the head by the dangerous hooved animals but felt safe enough. "Devilishly clean," said the young girl aloud. It was unbranded too so she would fix that. The cat kept hissing at her. She felt threatened by this particular animal so she bought new sheeps and new chickens and replaced the horse with a less dangerous one. The animals nehhed, bahhed, and buck buck buckocked happily in their new environment. "Cockadoodledoo!" said the red rooster. "Bran new animals! Farmer Jones will be pleased!" She cleaned the new animals off. She buffed their hooves and polished their beaks. She painted the chickens' claws and styled the roosters' feathers. "That rooster is on fire," she thought. She even She returned to be barn and ordered new animals. New sheep, new horses, and a bran new chicken! She even ordered chicken nuggets from the animal store. She just had to fill that bucket with soapy warm water and wipe off the wonderfully new animals. She test rode the new sheeps and the new horses to see if they could hold up and sure enough they could. She then rode the wet (and not even soapy) horse out the barn and traveled to a friendly field. The horse rode off and she hugged the horse and they returned to the barn not just content but happy, for the horse was now happier than before because of its riding lesson. She helped the iron-free sheeps to become stronger with traing excercises, but she didn't soil their diet with iron like before. She felt the chickens vitamin pills and fed herground up nails to the cat. Horses and sheeps need excercise too so she rode them around the barn. When they were done excercising they ate from their troffs and made their noises. Even the hens were buck buck buck buckcocking cheerfully. The young girl was full of glee and cheer.
"Wow, those little lambs and very malnurished, but they'll live" she thought to herself.
The nice young girl cleaned off the chickens, the horse again, and then she cleaned up the filthy sheep. "Baaaah," said the sheeps and she cleaned off the sheep. She cleaned the sheeps again. She took the hose and cleaned the horse again. "Just like washing a trailor," she thought. The young girl liked riding trailors, it was much easier than walking. The horse rode off and she and the horse returned to the barn. "Neehhh," said the happy horse.
"Looks like you have a new friend," said Farmer Jones.
"Why yes I do Mr. Jones!" said the young girl.
"Thank you so much for cleaning my barn. Compared to the rest of this farm the barn is cleaner than ever before thanks to you!" said Farmer Jones.
"It was easy," said the girl, "and it looks like the animals are back to their own selves again. The sheep are happy, the chickens are squaking and the horse is having a red letter day."
The young girl was getting tired of all this cleaning went for a very long walk. She returned up and went up to level 2 of the barn (the upper 'deck') and cleaned the smaller animals' living environment. Then she went back down to the main floor and cleaned first the chicken eggs, the chicken's legs, the chicken's chicks, the chicken's floor (made of dirt). She cleaned the gerbil cage and the gerbil was happier than it was with the soiled cage. She placed it in an air-condishioned cage. She placed a gerbil dropping in her pocket for good luck.
"I will make this entire 3rd world country look like a 2nd world nation," thought the young girl hopefully.
By this time she was beginning to see ghosts and moving things because she had stayed up cleaning the barn for too long. The farmer's son came out and he was angry to see that a person was occupying his barn! He had her removed and he pet and cleaned the other sheep, chickens, and horses, along with their stalls. He replaced the dirty water in the horse troff and picked up the milk containers, and turned out the light. He polished the walls for good luck, and replaced the old hay with new hay just like the last visitor. He turned out the light.
"Baaaaah!" said the veal sheeps.
The young girl imagined what farm animals could be used for. She imagained that they could be attatched to windmills to generate electricity instead of the wind. When she woke up she forgot about that and replaced her old makeup with new makeup and then washed it off. She was going back to the barn. She walked up to a horse and cleaned it again. There was filth and dung and rotten soiled hay under the horse and it stank. When she was done cleaning out this stall she rode the horse into the sunset. She couldn't manage this horse, it was acting wildly so she went to the sheeps and rode one of the sheeps. "Baaah," said the sheep. Around the farm was Farmer Jones but nowhere nearby so she knew she had more time to clean up the barn before the left for the day. She did so and the barn was clean again. She came back to the barn and imagined the horses would be neddying and the chickens would be bucking and buck buck buckocking, and the sheeps would be bahhing, and the new goat would be nehhing just like before.
"Yes, this is just the barn should look," she said, entering the clean barn. When she was finished cleaning up the animals and of course the barn, she thought that the barn was cleaner than it ever had been. Even the sheeps were happy lambs. "They were anemic so I helped them!" thought the young caring carrot carrier. She liked to put peanut butter on the carrots before feeding them to the horses!
She left the barn that way, turning out the light as she exitted.
She hit the hay, and as she went to sleep she thought of a world of happy charming animals where everyone is peaceful, open-minded, friendly, caring, and good. With dreams of happy friendly farm animals she drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
But the very next day (around 4:00am) she woke up and visitted the barn in the darkness of the night. To her surprise the animals were awake and making animal noises. She recleaned the entire barn in two hours. She cleaned the gerbil cage and the gerbil, the horse stall and the horse, the sheep stall and of course the sheep. Then she petted the horse and taught the horse how to sit down! "why I never knew a horse could sit like that", thought the young girl. She taught the sheeps how to sit, one after another. She taught the chickens to sit but they had trouble since they already knew how to sit. She taught the gerbil to lie down. She thought for awhile.
"Why I never knew farm animals could be that smart. I will teach animals around the world to sit! I never knew they could do that."
She visitted the farm's courtyard. The animals were not filthy anymore and everyone was feeling much better. She rode her bicycle in circles arount the courtyard and sung a happy song. She rode the horse one last time just for good luck, and chased the chickens. She meowed at the cat and visitted the sheeps. "Baaaah!" said the sheeps.
"Well bah-humbah, Mr. Sheep!" said the happy young girl.
She took her American Bank card and visitted a verateller machine to withdraw money from the savings account Farmer Jones had written the check to. Now she had it made!
