Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play on the farm with the animals. One day, they see a big cow in the field. The cow is black and white and has a bell around her neck.
"Look, a cow!" Sam says. "Can we pet her?"
Ben nods. "Yes, let's go. Maybe she will give us some milk."
They run to the cow and try to touch her. But the cow does not like it. She moos loudly and shakes her head. She kicks her legs and runs away.
"Hey, come back!" Ben shouts. "We just want to be your friends."
But the cow does not listen. She runs to the fence and jumps over it. She runs to the road, where there are many cars and trucks.
"Oh no!" Sam says. "The cow is in danger. She might get hit by a car. We need to help her."
They run after the cow, but they are too slow. The cow is faster and runs across the road. The cars and trucks honk and brake. The drivers are angry and scared.
"Stop, cow, stop!" Sam and Ben yell. "You are not safe there. Come back to the farm."
But the cow does not stop. She runs to the woods, where there are many trees and animals. She thinks she is free and happy.
Sam and Ben are sad and worried. They do not know what to do. They need to find the cow and bring her back. They need to tell their dad what happened. They hope the cow is okay.
They look around and see a man on a bike. He is wearing a helmet and a bright vest. He is alert and smart. He sees the cow and the boys.
"Hey, kids, what are you doing here?" he asks. "Do you know that cow?"
Sam and Ben nod. "Yes, she is from our farm. She ran away and we followed her. But we can't catch her. She is too fast and wild."
The man smiles. "Don't worry, I can help you. I have a rope and a whistle. I can call the cow and tie her to my bike. Then we can take her back to your farm. Do you want to come with me?"
Sam and Ben smile. "Yes, please. Thank you, mister. You are very kind and brave."
They get on the bike with the man. He blows his whistle and waves his rope. The cow hears him and stops. She is curious and tired. She comes closer and lets him tie her to the bike.
"Good girl, cow," the man says. "You are safe now. Let's go home."
They ride back to the farm. The cow moos softly and follows the bike. Sam and Ben are happy and relieved. They hug the cow and the man.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," they say. "You saved the cow and us. You are our hero."
The man laughs. "You're welcome, kids. You are very brave and caring. You love the cow and the farm. You are good friends."
They reach the farm and see their dad. He is surprised and glad. He sees the cow and the man and the boys.
"What happened?" he asks. "Where did you go? How did you find the cow?"
Sam and Ben tell him everything. They tell him how the cow ran away and how the man helped them. They tell him how they learned a lesson.
"We are sorry, dad," they say. "We did not mean to scare the cow. We just wanted to pet her. But we learned that we need to be gentle and respectful with the animals. We need to listen to them and watch them. We need to keep them safe and happy."
Dad smiles and hugs them. "I'm proud of you, boys. You did the right thing. You helped the cow and the man. You are good sons."
He thanks the man and gives him some milk and cheese. He invites him to stay for dinner. He is grateful and friendly.
They all go inside the house. They eat and talk and laugh. They are a big family. The cow is in the barn. She is calm and warm. She has a new friend. She is a happy cow.
