The cows there were playing freely,
doing as they pleased.

“This is so fun I might explode!”

“It looks like you’re having a wonderful time,”
Guu said, greeting her.

“You may look harmless,
but don’t think you can join our party!”

“The truth is…
we know that one day
we will be eaten by humans.

So we pretend to be happy—
just to forget.”
