There were two cowboys called Rose and John Marsden.
They went out for a muster.
It was a stormy night. John Marsden was moving the cows.
Suddenly there was a lightening strike.
The cows got scared and ran into the bush. John Marsden went home and waited until the morning.
In the morning he had his breakfast and then hopped on his horse and went out looking for the cows on the open paddocks.
First was the long paddock, second was the small paddock and last was the medium sized paddock. But the cows were not in the four paddocks. The gates were open.
So he tied his horse up and hopped off and went into the bush.
He tripped over and hit his head.
Two days later ...
John Marsden woke up in the bush. His horse was sniffing him. He hopped on his horse and rode home slowly. He had another sleep to rest his head. He just hoped that the cows would come back!
