'Sinead, there's a wild animal out there!' ...
'That's not a wild animal ... That's Henry.' ...
'Don't touch him, Sinead,' I shouted. 'He'll bite you. He'll eat you!'
'She won't eat me. Cows are vegetarians.'

Sinead, Michelle's country cousin, is such a Miss Knowall. Even if vegetarians don't eat meat, that cow still has terrible big teeth. And who has a cow in the garden anyway?

Michelle lives in the town. When she visits the country she finds wild animals in the garden, lambs in the kitchen, muck everywhere and no shops, clubs or streetlights.

But somehow life on the farm is not boring after all. Red Flag 3
