he gave his life

there was once a farmhouse set atop a breezy hill overlooking a valley. there was a beautiful lake where swan and duck swam, horse, cow and sheep will drink from and graze on the green grass spanning miles surrounding the lake. Farmer Kim's children will go to the lake every evening for a nice cool dip. 




the farm animals lived in harmony, each playing their role to support the farm. the chicken will lay eggs and how the children loved having all sorts of different egg each morning. mother Kim will make scramble eggs as how rosie may likes, sunny side up eggs as how louie tom likes and soft boiled eggs as how jimmy rain likes. 


farmer kim is hard at work the whole day, tending to the animals with different needs. the horse will need a hoof change, the sheep will need to be led for grazing the grass and being protected against wild beasts of the land. farmer kim's best helper doggy tim is hard at work too, making sure the sheep do not run apart from the group, lest they get separated, that is when they get into trouble. 


one morning, as the farm animals was just waking up to the first crow of the day, there came an unwanted visitor. it was the slimy slithery snake from the forest. although none of the animals paid much attention to him as they know snake blake always brings trouble to them, but they couldn't help but notice all the wimpering and sniffing that snake blake was making. finally, mother hen sue being the kindest of hearts asked snake blake, what is troubling him? 


snake blake began to explain about the human who has been visiting the forest and bringing machinary to begin cutting trees and clearing the land to make way for new houses and buildings. so snake blake came to inform them that he is moving away to a far place and he is throwing a farewell party. all the farm animals are invited. after that, snake blake left. 


for that whole day, the farm animals was very excited about the party they were going to attend that night. they went about performing their duties happily and looked forward to the end of the day. as night falls, the animals was getting ready to leave the barn. owl reid cautioned the animals and told them not to go as snake blake is the father of all lies and is out to harm them. still, the animals threw owl reid's caution out the window and went on their way. 


owl reid flew to farmer kim's window to warn him of trouble brewing. farmer kim, sensing something amiss, put on his coat and took out his shotgun to go down to the barn. as he opened the door to the barn and seeing that all the animals are gone, he woke mother kim and tole her to get the vets to the farm as soon as she can and he immediately ran after them. snake blake was lying in wait at the edge of the forest with all his other wily snake friends to kill the unsuspecting animals. 


farmer kim ran with all his heart. he could see the animals but could not reach them in time before they reach the forest, so he began to fire shots into the night in order to warn the animals to turn around. at this point, snake blake could not wait anymore and shot out to grab his first victim, sheep henry. the rest of the animals managed to turn around and ran away as fast as they could back to the direction of the barn. sheep henry was trapped by ten different snakes from all directions, it seems there was no way to save him now. farmer kim surged on ahead and began firing at the snakes, but it was too late as two very poisonous snakes has already bitten sheep henry. still farmer kim reached out to grab sheep henry. snake blake seized that opportunity to sink his poisonous teeth into farmer kim's heels. you see, snake blake's main objective was to lure farmer kim as they had always been the biggest of enemies. oh, how farmer kim fought to swing away the snakes and with all the energy he has left, ran back to the farm. 


now, back on the farm, vets were waiting to treat sheep henry. throughout the night, vets worked on sheep henry to save him while farmer kim was also brought to the hospital to be treated. no one could close their eyes as they waited for the news of sheep henry and farmer kim. by the first crow of the day, they received news that sheep henry and farmer kim is on the road to recovery. 


you see, farmer kim would have given his life to anyone of the farm animals because he loved them. he will fight the battle against that wily evil snake for them and will be victorious over and over again. no matter how much lies and plotting snake blake does, he will never win over the goodness of farmer kim's love as he gave his life for all who put their hope in him, he will never disappoint and forsake them.
