and Articles by Marilyn D. Anderson |
I like
writing books, but sometimes it's fun to write something short.
When I feel like that, I write stories or articles for magazines
like Faces, Cobblestone, Hopscotch, Boys' Quest, Fun For
Kidz, Young Salvationist, Discovery Trails, Bread for God's Children,
Primary Treasure, On-the-Line, Story Friends, Guide Magazine,
Horsepower, Midwest Hunter, Appaloosa Horse Journal, Library
Talk, Once Upon A Time, The Children's Writer, or The Writer's
Journal.
Here's a very short article that was published in Story Friends.
MOO
What does a cow say?
Moo!
What does "moo" mean?
Probably "I'm hungry," because a cow's life is mostly
eating and drinking.
A dairy cow is God's milk factory on legs. She can produce over
6 gallons of milk per day after eating about half a bathtub full
of her favorite foods. Grass, hay, chopped corn, or a mixture
of other grain such as oats are some of her favorites. She also
needs half a bathtub full of water per day.
A cow's stomach has 4 parts. This means she can grab a lot of
food without bothering to chew it. Her food waits in the first
part of her stomach until she takes a rest. Then she brings the
food back to her mouth for more chewing. No wonder it seems as
if cows are always eating.
