The woods were full of shadows one June evening just before eight
o'clock, although a bright sunset still glimmered faintly among the
trunks of the trees. A little girl was driving her cow home. The cow
was a plodding, slow and annoying creature, but still a valuable
companion. They were going away from the western light, and were
heading deep into the woods. But their feet were familiar with the
path, and it didn't matter if their eyes could see it or not.
