The Lady who was a Farmer


by Aanya Gupta

Once upon a time, there lived an old lady who had a farm. On her farm she had sheep. But one day she fell sick and could not take care of her sheep. That winter every thing was white and she lost her sheep .When the snow melted, the old lady became better.
The old lady found her lost sheep in the forest. The sheep looked fine with more shiny fur.

The lady felt happy and thought that it would be a perfect day to pick apples. She picked the apples from the tree and ate some. She gave one each to all the sheep and saved some for the neighbors.

She came back home. She put her sheep back in the barn. She then made pie out of her freshly picked apples and gave one to her cousin, who lived in California.

Her sister visited her after three weeks and then stayed with her for a long time. They had a spectacular time together.

After her sister left, the old lady visited her younger brother. She stayed with him for three months. Before leaving for her brother’s house, she requested her neighbor Jenny to take care of her herd of sheep and count them every hour as they liked to wander around.

After she came back home, her grand daughter Milia came to visit her and stayed back with her forever to take care of her grand mother.

They lived happily ever after.
