I walk into her field.

I look in her barn, and I still don't see her!
I start to panic.

Where could she be?
I say out loud.

I am about to run into Lou's house to ask where Gol is,
when beeping and loud sounds begin coming from the road.

I run toward it and a nervous feeling flows through me.

I see Gol’s scared face in the middle of the road
with cars and trucks surrounding her.

I run into the street and try to pull her out,
but she’s transfixed on the headlights of a car.

I keep pulling and tugging until my arms get tired.
The cars keep inching closer and closer,

and the beeping is getting louder and louder.

Finally Gol budges and starts trotting away,
now listening to my commands.

I am relieved when I finally get her out of the street,

and I tell Gol out loud:
Never run away like that again.

She gives a satisfied grunt, almost in response.
