At dawn,Tayloropened her sleepy eyes and looked out of the window at the foggy field below. "NO!" she cried, now fully awake. Buttermilk the cow was in Mama'sdaisypatch (雏菊地) .
I must have forgotten to lock the gate last night, Taylor thought as she pulled a sweater over her head.Mamawas planning to sell daisybouquets(花束) at the fair next week, but Buttermilk was eating the flowers.
Taylor hurried outside and grabbed the lead rope on thewall. "Why can't you stay in the field?" she called to Buttermilk as she headed across the yard to the daisy patch.
Buttermilk still stood there chewing flowers. Annoyed, Taylor thought to herself, "When I grew up, I'll be an artist andpaintpictures all day. I'll neverowna cow. Too much trouble." Just as Taylor was about to throw the lead rope onto Buttermilk's collar, the familydog, Red, rounded the corner of the house. Startled, Buttermilk took off, tearing through the daisies and across the yard. She finallyranthrough the open gate and into the field.
"Thank goodness!" Taylor said as she closed the gate and secured the lock.
She turned to look at the flower garden, where most of the daisies were either eaten or trampled (踩踏).
Mama came out of the house. "What's going on?" she asked. She looked sadly at her garden.
"I forgot to lock the gate," Taylor said. "I'm so sorry."
"I know you are" Mama sighed and gave Taylor ahug. "You learned an important lesson today."
Taylor's heart was heavy as she went back into the house. She had to think of a way to make it up to her mother.
