He fed her the best food, gave her the best care, and made sure she was always comfortable. One day, the cow got sick. The farmer was heartbroken. He took her to the vet, but the vet said there was nothing he could do. The cow was dying. The farmer spent the next few days by the cow's side. He talked to her, sang to her, and petted her. He didn't want to leave her alone. Finally, the cow died. The farmer was devastated. He cried for days. He couldn't believe that his beloved cow was gone. One day, the farmer was walking in the field when he saw a small calf. He went over to the calf and saw that it was the cow's baby. The farmer picked up the calf and held it in his arms. He felt a sense of peace. He knew that the cow was in a better place now, and that he would always have her baby to remember her by.
