The Return of Blossom
Isaw Mr.Darkin in the cow barn and went across to him.The farmer wasa kind
man but he always looked mournful,and this morning he looked sadder than ever.
I had come to examine a litter of pigs who had upset stomachs but Mr.Darkin seemed in
no hurry to leave the barn.He was gazing at his old cow.Blossom.
"She'go tog Mr.Herriot.
"Old Blossom Why "I asked
"It's not paying me to keep her any more.She's not giving enough milk now,and I have
to sell plenty of milk to keep my farm going.Jack Dodson is coming this morning to take her
to the market.”
He rested his hand briefly on the old cow back.T'm her go.She's like
an old friend.She's given me thousands of gallons of milk for twelve years.She doesn't owe
mme anything,”
There were six cows in the old bamn with its low roof,and they all had names.As if she
ere the topie of the her bead andoked at him.She
was certainly very ancient Her bones stuck out from her skinny body and her udder(
drooped almost to the ground.But there was something appealing in the friendliness of the
eyes and the patient expression on her face.
Mr.Darkin had fallen silent as he looked fondly at his about to suggest that we
might see the pigs when I heard sounds of boots in the yard and Jack Dodson,the cattle
drover,hurried into the barn.
"Now then Mr.Darkin.It's easy to see which one you want me to take,"he cried,
pintingom'that old thing over there.
The farmer didn't reply for moment,and then he went beween the sand genly
rubbed Blossom's forehead."Aye,this is the one,Jack."Then he undid (the chain
round her neck."Off you go.old lass,"he murmured.
