THE RED CLOTH
The cows looked restless. Sarah wondered what was wrong. She had fed them, she had seen them drink their water, so why were they looking at her so intently, she wondered.
She pushed the thought at the back of her mind as she had lots of errands to run. As she opened the tiny gate of the kraal the cows moved slowly towards her.
She went through the gate but as she turned to close the gate, one cow run very fast through the gate. That is when the realization dawned on her that the cows were actually trying to run after her.
She was scared and took off. The herd started running after her. Her heart thumping so hard she ran past her house and they continued running after her.
Her foot skipped a step and she tripped over a tree stamp that she had not really recognized as she was running for dear life. The red cloth that was peeping from the back pocket of her jeans fell out as she landed on the ground.
She quickly stood up to run but the cows were not following her anymore. They were all gathered infront of the red cloth like they were at an assembly and the red cloth was the teacher addressing them.
It buffled her mind as she had never seen anything like that before. She limped her way backed to the house. Her husband saw the state she was in and he rushed to clean her wounds.
She narrated what had happened and her husband told her the red cloth was used to relax the cows during; sickness, dehorning or when they were experiencing stressful situations.
She totally understood the cows’ reaction towards the red cloth.
