A 'Cash Cow' tells her story --#amreading #govegan #LGBTQauthors
I wanted to share a brief excerpt from CINNAMON, a dairy cow's (and her farmer's) path to freedom a novel that I wrote that is near and dear to my heart. Perhaps the reason for this is that I have known some cows personally and they have told me their stories.
This excerpt features Cinnamon, a dairy cow, as she learns about something called money. I recorded the excerpt for YouTube, and the text is below that.
“Don’t be silly. There’s always a pecking order – even among cows,”
Spice replied. “Not to mention the fact that we used to be money.”
“Be money! Us!?” I could barely contain my curiosity.
She looked at me coolly and chewed her cud.
“I meant what I said,” she said finally. “An old cow told me that in
ancient times the kings valued their worth on how many cows they
owned. They even invaded other lands and took the cows as their own.
Haven’t you ever heard the expression ‘a cash cow’?”
I shook my head.
“I never heard of such an expression. It sounds ridiculous. We don’t
exist to make some king wealthy.”
