A Trip to the Wild


         Some persons’ mouth dropped wide open, others

         were laughing themselves to tears and there were
         a  few  using  their  phones  to  capture  the  moment

         for social media. The word about the animals’ little

         trip  spread  throughout  all  the  villages  in

         Montserrat.


         When the group started to climb up to the Center

         Hills  it  started  to  rain  heavily.  The  waters  rushed

         down  the  hillsides  faster  than  a  speeding  bullet.

         The journey became difficult, especially for Caroline

         the  cow.  Suddenly  her  feet  began  to  slip  as  the
         ground  became  soft  and  soggy  and  the  force  of

         the  water  was  unrelenting.  She  screamed  in  fear,

         “Moo, mooooo”; the others ran to her rescue but

         she was too big. “Save yourselves!” she exclaimed,

         but the others would not leave her there. Alvin had
         some  wits  about  him  and  used  tree  vines  and

         quickly wrapped them around Caroline’s body. He

         told Ivy to take one end and tie to a strong nearby

         tree and Olivia and Gordon did the same. It was a

         great heroic act and it helped to save Caroline the
         cow  from  being  pushed  over  the  hillside  to  her
