Before I get started, I can write about anything, right? Even short stories like the one I am about to tell? If not, just let me know as soon as possible. I'll write something else. Anyway, enjoy my story.
Once upon a time, there was a boy who lived in a very poor family. His name was Bob and he lives in a countryside. Bob only lived with his mother. His father moved to a city faraway to work, but he was never heard of ever since. Even though they were very poor, they still lived happily.
Bob and his mother owned a farm. That farm is the main source of food for their family. Every morning, Bob had to wake up very early. Then, he had to collect eggs from the hen and milk the cows before having breakfast. Later, he would ride his rusty bike to school. Life was perfect for him.
One day, when Bob was milking the cows, he spotted something unusual. He saw a bright gold cow, as bright as a light bulb. He slowly approached it and the cow suddenly talked in words! Bob screamed so loudly, his mother woke up. The cow, being able to speak, tried to calm Bob down. Five minutes later, the screaming abruptly stopped.
The golden cow will not reveal how he came to be. Otherwise, he would become a regular cow. Bob asked why that was such a big deal. The cow told Bob that it can grant a wish every day. Bob was also told to use this power only when he really needs something. The cow lastly commanded Bob to keep this a secret, otherwise all the wishes will be reverted. Bob agreed to guard this secret with all his life.
For the first few weeks, everything was fine. Bob needed school supplies and the cow happily granted that wish. During these weeks, Bob's wishes were sensible. However, it didn't stay like that forever.
During the next few weeks, Bob's wishes started becoming slightly out of hand. He wished for unnecessary things like a new gaming console, a HD TV and a high speed internet connection. Bob clearly did not know how to control his power.
Then, Bob went mad. He wished for a gold limousine, a large mansion and the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes. The golden cow has had enough with Bob's silly wishes. One night, the cow blew up. BANG!
Bob rushed to the barn. Much to his disappointment, the golden cow was nowhere to be seen. He looked around, and everything went back to the way it used to be. Bob did not cry, wanting the cow to come back. He realised his mistake. His foolishness is what made this happen. Bob then promised himself not to make the same mistake again.
The next morning, it was business as usual. Bob had to accept the consequences. Before Bob went to school, the door knocked. Much to his suprise, it was his father! Bob almost didn't recognised him. Bob's father said his appearance was like magic, and deep down, Bob knew that the arrival of his father was the work of the golden cow. After that, everyone lived happily ever after.
The End
