The ram in the barn office didn’t look anything like the baby goats he bottle fed as a boy on Aunt Vera’s farm. Ted’s phone rang and he stepped outside for a better signal. He turned back around in time to bear the brunt of the ram’s rush in his stomach.
“Oof!”
“Baa!”
Ted fell, dropping his phone. As the ram gathered himself for another assault, Ted ran for dear life. Safely in the crook of the nearest tree, he watched the ram demolish his phone. He looked longingly at the house 100 yards off. So close, yet so far.

It's a long story ... 
A fully fleshed out story here, with some wonderful scenes. It leaves me with questions, and wanting more! Nice job.
I think I know how the ram feels. I wouldn’t mind smashing some people’s cell phones occasionally!
I hadn’t thought of it that way, but you are so right.
Poor Ted’s phone. Poor Ted. I almost feel bad for giggling. Great job!
That is a great subtitle: Poor Ted. Adventures on the Farm with Poor Ted. Poor Ted in Trouble Again. Maybe I could write a series. Fun idea.
Those rams are as baaaaad as goats; they’ll eat anything!
So close, yet so far! This is a wonderful story.
Dear Tresha,
Ramming good story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I was running, too! Out of breath. 🙂

Tresha, Funny story. 😀 No; a ram wouldn’t be like a baby goat. I could just see poor Ted sitting in that tree. Well written. 🙂 —Susan
