A Grandmother Begins the Story Quotes

“My hooves hurt,” she moaned. The trio of grandmothers gathered around Dee again. “He’s with another cow,” Dee said. The grandmothers nudged her up again as if she were a calf. Dee cursed and said, “A calf actually, he’s with a calf. No, two calves.” The three grandmothers made noises of disapproval, but all they said was, “No bull is worth dying for.” They said, “You’ve got to use hope responsibly.”
