Publisher's note: Lachie wrote and illustrated this story for a year seven project, when he was twelve years old. His teacher gave him nine out of ten. We think perhaps she took a mark off because Lachie called Clancy a cow instead of a bull. We decided it would spoil the story to fix that mistake, and anyway, we loved it just the way it was!
