Obama’s cow

This morning, Mr. Nindi told us that he had bought a cow for us to bring home to Obama. We all agreed that Obama would greatly appreciate the gift. And really what’s a better photo op than a cow laying around on the white house lawn? Unfortunately Obama’s cow was not so keen on the idea and seemed to value her freedom more than a trip to the US. When the shamba-man cut off the rope that was keeping her leg tied to a post, she immediately made a run for it. We watched as the shamba-man sprinted out the gate after the fleeing cow. An hour later, Obama’s cow was finally back in captivity. Lesson of the day: cows can run much faster than you’d think.
