Too bad I'll miss the feast."

    The king must be feeding thousands. Good thing the cattle don't understand human language. Thanks for the chuckle!

    Very well done. We slaughtered a steer every year for meat. I so remember this.

    Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)

    The king must indeed be having one big dinner party!! And it is a good thing the cattle don't understand or the king might be learning the meaning of stampede!! Fun one for the day! Hope you have a great week, Jim!

    I had to wonder why she'd be missing the feast. Is there a mystery here that I missed?

    Liked it. One query. Why is she called Erin? Does she look Irish, do you think?

    Kay: Erin wasn't invited to the feast. I suppose some of her cows were.

    Gaelikaa, you are right, the Irish weren't involved. I picked 'Erin' because it is a lady's name with four letters. I use it most times.

    Perhaps Erin has a cattle delivery elsewhere that day.
