#5 Other stories: An daughters story
A week has passed after Daddy told us that we would move. Grandpa next door convinced my father to stay here! I harvested the crop this week, using my happiness as power. I managed to finish harvesting potatoes, wheat, and other vegetables, and now we were going to harvest the cornfield, which was left for the last. Oh!
Daddy, youre not working again!
Im sorry!
I complained to Daddy, who stopped his hands. There are tis he stopped working to think, and I would have to scold him quickly. Winter is coming!
Daddy, hurry!
All right, all right. Arent you too hard on your daddy?
We have to harvest the corn and store them well quickly. Corn can be ruined easily than other products, and corn is not the only thing we seeded on the cornfield. There are beans and pumpkins here and there. Daddy said corn hurts the soil, and we have to protect the fields by planting beans and pumpkins. In contrast, I do not know why it will be true since Daddy had said it.
Umm
I reached out to an ear of corn nearby, but my arm was too short. I hated being short at tis like this. I wanted to grow up faster so I could harvest the corn at the very top.
It looks delicious
I tried to reach the corn on tiptoe, but I only can sll the sweet corn. Corn is yummy when roasted or boiled like potatoes. While Daddy had not fried them, that also seems tasty. Also, corn can be made into a powder to make bread or pressed for oil. Chicken made from corn oil is the best.
That may not be a corn dish.
I hesitated, but Daddy always said that a good thing was a good thing. Therefore, corn was good since we could use it to make chicken.
Umm
I jumped to harvest that ear of corn but failed. I was focusing on the beans in disappointnt when soone tapped my back.
Yes?
ow!
Whats wrong?
A cat I sotis gave food to had poked my back.
Big sister is busy.
I was not treated as an older sister in this village, as I was the youngest since the fruit rchants daughter was born a month earlier than . Only babies who could not go outside were younger than , and that was why I had to take in cats as my younger siblings.
ow!
No, no.
Were they dissatisfied because I had not been able to play with them because I had been busy with the harvest? The cat had listened to
in the past but was now hitting my back.
No, really! I have to harvest all the beans!
Daddy had said that he would take care of the heavy pumpkins and the corn up high. Therefore, I was in charge of beans, which would make good oil. Chicken fried in bean oil is also tasty as chicken fried in corn oil. Fried chicken is always yummy!
ow!
Hey, whats up with you?
While there had been many cats, all of them were smart. They would wait for
when I was farming or harvesting. Had sothing happened?
Daddy! Can I leave for a mont?
Did sothing happen?
I could not see where Daddy was since he seed to be working hard. I only saw corn rustling.
Cats are all over ! Sothing may have happened.
Cats? That cannot be helped. Go on now.
I had been worried that he might scold
since I had, but my father had a large heart.
ow!
All right, Ill hurry.
The cat started running the mont I stood up, and it seed to be urgent!
ow! ow! ow!
ow!
I heard cats owing frantically as I soon neared the mountain. Sothing must have happened!
Hey, you guys. What happened?!
The cats were usually quiet, and they shouting like that made
run faster. I saw red blood and scread.
A golden cat with shining fur had a large wound!
I never saw this one beforeyou guys havent done this, right?
These nice cats would never do such a thing since they began to rub against my body and ow as if to ask
to solve this situation.
I have to go to Daddy!
Blood was still flowing, and what I could do was to report to Daddy as quickly as possible. That was the best thod he had taught . However, the injured cat clawed at
with sharp eyes as I approached it to carry to my father.
It hurts.
I grabbed the scratch marks on my palm, and red blood flooded down from it. It hurts.
Grrrr!
The fallen cat staggered and then stood up to glare at , telling
to co near it.
Youre hurt!
ow!
The cat shouted while supporting its body with shaking legs. However, I knew that the cat was only wary about things coming near it because it did not want to get hurt anymore. I lived through that and had not been a good child to Daddy. However, he hugged
no matter how I resisted him! So, now was the ti I had to buckle up!
Its all right.
ow!
I approached it carefully and put out my hand. I heard that cats did not like people touching their palm, belly, and tail. I had whined where I should touch them at first but now was different.
ooow!
Ah
I grabbed the cats body when its gaze stared at . The cat wounded my arm with a scream, but more blood seed to be flowing from the cat.
Its all right. Dont worry. Daddy will take care of everything!
