Once upon a time, there was a cow named Bessie. Bessie liked to talk to her friends in the farm. One day, Bessie saw a big sign. The sign had a word she did not know. The word was "available". Bessie did not know what it meant, but she felt it was not good.
Bessie asked her friend, the horse, what "available" meant. The horse did not know either. They asked the pig, but the pig did not know. They asked the sheep, but the sheep did not know. Bessie was worried. She knew the word was important, but she did not know why.
One day, a man came to the farm. He looked at the sign and then at Bessie. Bessie tried to talk to the man, but he did not talk back. The man took Bessie away from her friends. Bessie was sad. She found out that "available" meant she was going to be beef. Bessie wished she had known sooner, so she could have said goodbye to her friends.
