Week 10 Story: Lola the Cow
Check out my updated version at, Izzy's Tales: Lola the Cow .
There were legends of a magical baby cow who was born and given to a small pasture family of cows. This baby was Lola. She was a beautiful Highland cow. She was given to a family who couldn't have kids. The family was very blessed and the whole town was there to support them. The whole town talked about how much of a troublemaker she was but her parents knew that she was something special. Lola loved to pick flowers and talk to everyone she met. You could say she was a social butterfly. Her favorite thing was to sing to the flowers that she so adored. She would sing:
" Grow, grow, grow beautiful flowers. Turn into one I'd
like to pick. Then I'll pick, pick, pick you all day long."
Lola would often chew on the flowers that her mother planted. Her mom, Susan, would always tell her to spit them out because she worked so hard for them. This often aggravated her mother. Her mother had it when Lola once again chewed on her tulips that she worked so hard on. Her mother came over and reached into her mouth to pull out the flowers, but she noticed something bizarre.
One day some evil men wanted to take Lola because they have heard rumors of Lola being special. The evil men tried to take Lola but she kicked and used her might to fight off the evil men. The whole town was so excited to have a hero on their hands. The evil men had to go back to their king and tell him that a girl had beat them up and that this girl isn't something to mess with. The king was angry and knew that one day this cow would kill him because of his dreams. His dreams said that a girl from a small village that was adopted would become strong and powerful. He saw that the people would love her more than him. He did not like what his dreams told him. He began to plan other ways to try to kill her.
Author's Note:
I loved the beginning of Krishna's story and how he was a young boy. Everyone knew he was a bit of a troublemaker but they also knew that he was special. His mother loved and adored him. She saw into his mouth and saw the universe. I loved this description and wanted to put it into my own story. He also was being attacked by a king who had a vision that that was the man who was going to kill him. I wanted to write about the cow because that is what Krishna loved. I changed the character from a boy to a girl cow. I really like how I combined the stories but also made it my own.

Susan: Oh darling you are so special, I reached into your mouth to pull out the flowers
and I saw everything. I saw the stars, the moon and everyone on earth.
Lola: Mom, what are you talking about, you are crazy.
Susan: I think you really are going to be something. Just you wait.

ReplyDeleteIzzy, I did not choose the Krishna reading this week, so I was unfamiliar with the original story. I enjoyed your story and that you did a gender swap as well as changed the character into the main character favorite animal. You have created an account with personal details that relate back to the original and them explained them very well, great writing techniques. Great story, I hope I can come back to read some more of them!
Hey again, Izzy! I really enjoyed this story. It was interesting to read this because I chose to read Jatakas this week and it was something different. I like how you included things like details and dialogue. These two things make stories easy to read and interesting. I also really love that you wrote this story about a cow! I really love cows and it made this story amazing!
ReplyDeleteHey again Izzy! I really liked this story, it was nice and fun, and featured a story I was not familiar with. I liked the way you changed up the setting and the characters while keeping the basic story the same. Also, the idea of a cow being the hero of this story against humans is really funny, and makes for a light hearted and funny tale.
ReplyDeleteHello again, Izzy!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful images you have included! I admire your creativity in the retelling of this story. It's a wonderful read and different take on Krishna's childhood. I'm not sure why the formatting of your paragraphs show up with more breaks in them than I think is necessary, so maybe proofreading could help with this. Overall though, great job! I look forward to reading more of your stories.
