Out in the field a Young horse named Toby and his friend a 

young mule that answered to the name Buford, were 

grazing on grass.

Buford had been admiring Toby as he moved so gracefully . 

Toby Was so muscled up and he had such a beautiful flaxen 

mane and tale. He was a good-looking horse. Buford on the 

other hand had long ears, his tale was not as long and 

pretty   as Toby's and he was not even close to being as 

muscled up as Toby was. That cowboy Hayden was always 

riding Toby and that kept him in good shape. 

taking toby somewhere to rope and rodeo so that is part of 

the reason he was in such good shape.

Toby and Buford got along real well because, after all they were 

almost born on the same day. They had been together for over four 

years now out in this beautiful pasture. It just seemed as though 

everybody liked Toby better and he got all the attention. The only 

attention I get is when I get hollowered at when I don't move fast 

enough.

The next day was Friday. That afternoon here come that cowboy 

.Hayden in his truck and trailer. As soon as Toby heard that truck 

coming he went running. He knew he would be loaded up for a road 

trip. I thought I would try my luck and run on over too. But nope! That 

Hayden shut that gate as soon as I got there.   He ask, Where do you 

think your going Buford?

Millie the cow Mooed, Buford you didn't really think you were 

going off with that cowboy did you? He is not going to ride you 

with those long ears. HeeHee she said laughing. He might rope 

one of those ears instead of the steer. Millie, Buford said, mind 

your own business...I did not want to go anyway. Why would I 

want to chase an ole steer for that cowboy?

Buford put his head down and went back to gazing for he knew 

that Toby and Hayden would be gone a couple of days at a 

Rodeo. Well, the next day here come farmer Craig,.he was in a 

chipper mood. He hollered, come on, Buford lets eat some 

grain. When you get done I have a very important job for you. 

Toby earns his keep rodeoing for Hayden and now it is time for 

you to have a job too.

you eat and I will be back with your surprise in a minute. It was not long 

and here Mr. Craig came with a very large wagon. Buford, I got a new job. 

It is a very important job too, You and I are going to deliver milk a couple 

times a week to the family's with children in our community.   The children 

are going to fall in love with you.

Away we went. I loved my new job. I felt so important. the 

kids came running out to get their   milk.   And guess what? Oh, 

Yeah, they brought me treats when   I bring them milk. I get 

apples, carrots, and sugar cubes. They just love all over me. I 

feel so important now that I have a job to do.Toby you have 

always been the special one. Now I feel special too.

Well that night I was out in the field feeling a little full. I could 

hear that cowboy's truck coming home. I did not even run to 

greet Toby. He and Millie the cow came moosing over to me. 

What's up with you Buford? You don't even act like you missed 

me? I really didn't have time Toby. Oh.? said Toby. Millie 

mooed in, He has a knew job pulling Mr. Craig's new wagon 

and delivering my milk to the neighborhood family's.

I guess you didn't have time to miss your old friend. No it's not 

that Buford said. But you see Toby, for along time I have had 

my feelings hurt thinking nobody loved me because I was not 

as handsome as you. Nobody wanted to take me in anywhere.  

But now I have an important job.   Millie mooed , Yeah and if it 

wasn't for me and my milk you would not have that job.

So okay Millie You are important too..We all 

are.
