Emily the Cow

One day when Emily got up she
went to her mother.
“Mom, I want to be a cow," she said.
"Well, OK. If you want to be a cow, you can be a
cow," said Emily's mother. “Just be a cow after
breakfast and before lunch.”
Emily ate a big breakfast and then got dressed.
She got her magic nickel and went outside.
She took the magic nickel into her hand and said,
“Cow, cow, cow.” Poof! Emily was a cow. She was a
black and white cow.
“Moo,” said Emily the cow. “This is grand. Tama
real cow. With that, Emily took a little run in her
yard.
"Moo," said Emily the cow again. “I think that I
want to be a jumping cow.” She looked in the yard
and saw her dog. She ran at her dog and then
jumped over him. She did it.
“Yes, I can jump,” said Emily the cow. She
looked at the yard's fence. She ran at the fence and
jumped over it.
"Yes!" said Emily the cow. She then saw her
mother's car. She ran at the car and Jumped over it.
"Yes!" said Emily the cow. She looked at her
home. She ran at it. She did it. She had jumped
over her home.
"Yes!" said Emily the cow. She looked at her
Street. She ran at it and jumped over it. She
jumped so high that she landed at her school.
"Yes!" said Emily the cow. She then looked up in
the sky and saw a jet airplane.
"I think I can do it,” said Emily the cow. She
looked around again.
“What can I jump over?" she asked. She looked
up in the sky and saw the moon. “That is what I want
to jump over."
She took a hard, hard run and jumped, Up, up,
4P, UP, Up, up, she went and then UP, UP, Up, up, up, Up,
Some more. Soon the earth was a small ball, and the
moon was getting bigger and bigger. Up, up, and up
she went.
Then it happened, Emily the COW Was over the
moon. Down, down, down she fell. The Moon soon got
smaller and smaller and the earth got bigger and
bigger. Inno time, she had landed back at her home.
“Yes! I jumped over the moon,” said Emily the
cow.
“Emily, lunch,” said her mother.
Emily the cow got her magic nickel. “Emily,
Emily, Emily,” she said.
Poof! Emily was Emily again. “I think it was
grand to bea cow," said Emily, and she went to lunch.
