One
beautiful morning,
great-grandfather Otataa awoke only to discover that a big, fat cow was standing in the middle of his living
room. storyDoodle_0001_1

He would have
preferred for the cow
to stand somewhere else,
but since he was a
friendly old man, he began
by offering it a cup of his
favorite tea. storyDoodle_0002_2

But the cow
seemed confused somehow. storyDoodle_0003_3

The wise man
sensed that it had visited
him for another reason entirely. storyDoodle_0004_4

For Otataa
was a story-teller.
Some researchers even believed him to be the best story-teller of all time.
And, of course, everybody knew this. storyDoodle_0005_5

Even this cow: storyDoodle_0006_6

No one should
leave the living room
of a real great-grandfather dissatisfied. And so, Otataa sat down in his comfy favorite chair and began... storyDoodle_0007_7

He told the story
of the small bird who built himself a submarine
and went forth to discover the breathtaking beauty of
the oceans. storyDoodle_0008_8

The cow seemed
to like that story. But it appeared to the old man
that it wanted
to keep standing on
his carpet. storyDoodle_0009_9

“Alright,”
thought Otataa to
himself, for he was not in a hurry. He would simply tell this kind animal another tale. storyDoodle_0010_10

And so he told the cow
all about the invisible frog, and how it later turned into an invisible prince and
lived in the greatest, most beautiful and most invisible castle that a cow can imagine. storyDoodle_0011_11

The cow
was visibly touched.
But still, it did not make
any move to leave. storyDoodle_0012_12

Otataa had an idea.
He would invent a story that was entirely new. A story
just for this cow.
A story that would give its fantasy wings until it could not stand still anymore. storyDoodle_0015_15

The
great-grandfather
closed his eyes. He imagined himself to be a cow on a
lush meadow. It smelled like daisies and fresh grass. storyDoodle_0016_16

And
suddenly, he knew
what a cow wished for
the most,
what would fill its heart with longing and send its fantasy to far-away places. storyDoodle_0017_17

And so,
he told the story of
the flying cow.
The flying cow with its red cape —shimmering in the sunlight and amazing people far and wide,
filling their hearts with wonder. storyDoodle_0018_18

He spoke
of the brisk wind
above the clouds and
of the funny feeling
in your tummy when
you fly in a loop. storyDoodle_0019_19

He spoke
of feeling as light as a
feather and of how wonderfully peaceful the world looks from above.. storyDoodle_0020_20

And he spoke of the unbelievably beautiful poems the swallows tell you when you accompany them on their long flight southward. storyDoodle_0021_21

For a short moment,
the cow looked at him with its big eyes.

But then... storyDoodle_0024_24

...it could
no longer hold back. storyDoodle_0025_25

Exhilarated
about the story
it had just heard, it jumped out of the window with a joyous leap and disappeared onto the meadow behind
the house. storyDoodle_0029_29

As much as
Otataa had grown to like
this cow, he was still glad to have his living room
to himself again.
After all these stories,
he felt a little tired. storyDoodle_0030_30

He settled back
into his great-grandfather chair and dozed off contentedly. storyDoodle_0031_31

When he
finally opened his eyes,
the sun was high in the sky.

He blinked in surprise as he looked around the room... storyDoodle_0033_33

Where on earth
would he get all that tea!? transparent

Look who’s waiting to be published soon…
