Clara the Cow and the Little Lost Lamb

Clara the cow is quiet and easily overlooked, but she notices what others miss, and when a lamb's faint cry drifts through the mist, she alone hears it.

Gentle Care

In a gentle green valley called Meadowmere, there lived a young cow named Clara. Clara had soft brown spots, a bell that clinked when she walked, and a quiet, thoughtful way about her. She wasn't the fastest or the loudest in the valley, but she had a talent that was easy to miss: she noticed things.

She noticed when Daisy the duck wasn't singing her morning song. She noticed when Old Mr. Goat limped a little on his left hoof. She noticed when someone sat alone at the edge of the pasture.

"Why do you always look so closely at everyone?" asked her friend Barney the pig one morning. "It's none of our business."

"I'm not trying to pry," said Clara. "I just want to know if anyone needs a friend."

Barney laughed. "That sounds like a lot of work for nothing."

Clara only smiled and went on munching her clover.
