Spring has Sprung

"Eek" said Charlie as he was led out of his field. "Dragons in the hedge! Dragons in the hedge!"

He snorted twice swung round and shouted "Run!" to his owner and then cantered down the track ripping the lead rope from her grasp.

 

She walked after him calling softly and half way down the track he stopped snorting and looked over his shoulder.

"I can't believe you aren't running. RUN for Gods sake". He spun and demonstrated 'Run' snorting with his tail held high as he galloped past the Giant Green bale which had caused sheer terror in his heart only a few days before.

He pranced around the bottom field. The cobs in the field next door looked shocked and they started running too. "Why are we running?" Asked Joe of the other two cobs. "God only knows!" said Shadow. "Something is fwightening Charlie"said Nemo.

They ran to the fence line. "Ask him what is fwightening him" said little Nemo.

Joe, in charge as usual, stepped forward.

"Charlie mate! What are we running from?".

"I can't remember." Said Charlie. "Have you guys seen how much grass is in this field?" He munched away and looked up suddenly at a noise.  "Ooh Hello mum.  Have you seen all this Grass!".

She picked up his lead rope. "You naughty boy!" she said as she led him away.  As they left the cobs leaned over the fence tucking in to the lovely grass. "Hang on" he said "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GRASS?" "Yes Charlie" she said. "And you have seen Too much grass and are losing your day off!".
