   “In the pine tree!” Magnifico answered with a big grin on his face.

“Now, you certainly lost me, son. It’s no big deal, really. We just find ourselves some other nice spot for the picnics and everything works out for the best, right Daddy?” she asked uneasily, turning to face her husband. Lencha joined in mooing softly and making a disconcerted face, as she also turned to face Pa.

“But, that’s not necessary, Ma. We don’t need to search for somewhere else.” He quickly interjected. “We’re thinking of the tree house!” He replied triumphantly, very proud of Camila’s idea.

“The tree house!?” Both exclaimed in chorus.

“Oh man!”, his father exclaimed surprised.

“Oh God!”, his mother cried anguished.

Both Lencha and Eugenia mooed at the same time, while outside Georgina brayed wanting to join in the conversation.

Lencha and Eugenia joined in as they also mooed, while outside Georgina brayed and whinnied, trying to get into the conversation.

 The silence that followed was interrupted brusquely as the heavy door opened, and Camila’s sweet voice was heard. She cheerfully said hello to all, while she made her unexpected , perfectly timed entry into the cow shed…

“Good morning all! So, how are you this morning?”
