The Story of Pinklet and Salus

This is my story. I am Pinklet. Our master was gathered us to move back from our walk on the grass fields to our home where we shall all take our rest and feast on the food poured out for us. All of a sudden, a large group of us went wild and rushed in a certain direction. I was altogether confused and frantic. "What was happening to them?" I thought as I gave chase.

As my feets did my best, I could not run as fast and wonder at the same time where they were heading. Even my master gave chase as he too was very puzzled by the strange behavior of the herd. Suddenly his pace grew faster and ran ahead of me. It looks like something terrible was going to occur.

When I finally caught up with my master, all I saw was him standing afar off standing at the edge of the cliff. And I was curious, "Where had the herd gone to?" When I stood next to my master, to my horror I saw that they have off ran off the cliff and drown in the stream below. What a terrible accident!

"Dear Salus" I asked her. "What do you think happened to the large herd, do you know?" As she landed on my nose, Salus said, "I saw what happened, Pinklet." "Dear Salus,  please tell me more."

"The white giant talked to the shaking giant and commanded something to go to this big herd nearby. There was a gush of wind and I was almost swept away too. Then I saw that big herd rushed down the cliff."

It seems like reality has caught up with our master. I saw master ran towards the white giant and his face seems awfully mad. His action was like chasing the white giant away. The white giant spoke to that shaking giant who now was no more shaking but paying total attentiveness to the words of the white giant.

Pinklet was wondering what words were spoken to both the something and also the shaking giant. Now the master came to Pinklet and the little babies. In his soberness, he knelt now. He prayed. He looked to heaven as he faced the almost empty barnyard that once held the herd.
