Once upon a time, under the big Texas sky, there lived a majestic longhorn named Cosmos. He wasn’t just any longhorn—his speckled coat shimmered like galaxies, and his long, wide horns stretched like crescent moons.
Cosmos lived on a peaceful ranch where bluebonnets danced in the wind and cowboys sang lullabies to the stars. Every morning, he greeted the sun with a moo, and every night he watched the sky twinkle with dreams. Children from nearby towns would visit him, feeding him apples and listening to his deep, gentle breaths. He loved their giggles and warm pats on his nose.
As Cosmos grew older, he began to feel tired, but he wasn’t sad. “I’ve had a good run,” he often said, gazing at the sunset. “I’ve brought smiles, carried hay, and protected little calves during storms.”
One day, the rancher gave Cosmos a golden medal and whispered, “You’re one of a kind, buddy.” The next morning, Cosmos passed peacefully, his heart full of love.
But his story didn’t end there.
The children painted murals of him across town—his horns reaching stars, his body filled with swirling colors. His hide was gently preserved and used in an art museum called “The Spirit of Texas,” reminding everyone of strength and kindness. His horns were made into beautiful instruments that sang like the wind, and every year, people gathered to tell stories about Cosmos, the longhorn who touched the sky.
Cosmos may have left the pasture, but in hearts and stories, he lived forever.
The End.
