Mother must have been a saint. The cow stayed. Wendy and her brother were enlisted to keep the cow content. Early in the morning they would take it for a walk. A pair of kids walking their pet cow.
Revenge is sweet.
Wendy still smiles as she recounts the way she dealt with the fretting neighbour. Don't sweat it. Her philosophy of life. It has a precedent in the Christian gospels. A simple message, as true today as it was 2,000 years ago.
