null LIVING TOGETHER COLLECTION Learn to Respect Nature with Daisy the Cow Illustrations: Pauline Casters Author: Adrienne Heymans Layout: Jérémy Lurquin In the middle of a lovely meadow lives a happy cow called Daisy. Daisy is always merry and loves to show it. She bounds, dances, and sings whipping the air with her tail. But unfortunately at the same time, she doesn't realize she's trampling flowers and plants without care. One day, Daisy decides to take a walk out beyond her meadow. She looks into the chicken yard and cheerfully, shouts at the top of her lungs: "Hello!" Then she goes to the pond, plunges her head underwater and makes bubbles screaming "Hello!" Then Daisy arrives near Domino the goat who is busy gardening. Delighted to see him, Daisy runs over to him, shouting: "HELLO!" Under the horrified gaze of her friend, Daisy tramples everything between them. "Daisy! Be careful! Look, you have entirely destroyed my vegetable garden." Daisy shrugs and says to her friend, "You'll just have to plant a new one!" "It's not that easy you know, plants take time to grow." But Daisy does not understand and Domino has to explain everything from scratch. "Listen Daisy, nature is fragile and must be protected! For example, a tree must be taken care of ..." But Daisy is not listening and is about to carve a heart into the bark of the tree. "Look, she shouts, I'll write our names too!" "Listen Daisy, nature is fragile and must be protected! For example, a tree must be taken care of ..." But Daisy is not listening and is about to carve a heart into the bark of the tree. "Look, she shouts, I'll write our names too!" But as she prepares to do so, Daisy feels something like a sting on her behind. Angrily, she turns and finds herself face to face with Domino engraving on her rump. "Heeey!" she exclaims. "Well, maybe you shouldn't do to the tree what you don't want to be done to yourself!" says Domino. Daisy understands and decides not to touch the trees anymore. But along the way, she pulls out an old, dirty and smelly sock from her pocket and wants to throw it in the compost dustbin. But Domino stops her. "Be careful, do not throw it in because compost is also food for the hens! You do not want the hens to eat your rotten old sock! Next time, think of sorting out your rubbish to avoid poisoning others." Domino and Daisy continue their stroll. Further along, Daisy opens a tap to drink. But once she has finished drinking, she leaves the tap open. And the water flows and flows until it forms a large puddle around Daisy. When the cow wants to join Domino, she cannot move anymore! Her paws are caught in the swamp she has created all by herself. Domino tells her jokingly: "If you do not want to get caught in a swamp, think of turning the tap off when you no longer need water." Then, he helps her to get out of the mud. The next day, Daisy comes back to help Domino get his vegetable garden back into shape. And this time, she is careful not to walk on anything. Then she even decides to surprise Domino by bringing him some natural fertilizer for the vegetables. DOMINO: "Tell me, Daisy, have you learnt something today?" DAISY: "Yes! I must be careful not to walk on the plants." DOMINO: "… And to care for the trees." DAISY: "I will also think about sorting my rubbish ..." DOMINO: "... And saving water!" 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
