My Brother Won’t Sleep in His Bed—He Says the Cow Knows the Truth
**A Changed Boy**
He was once a boisterous child, full of energy and never quiet. But something changed after we returned from the farm last autumn.
**The Silence**
Now he speaks only in whispers, his voice barely audible. The loud, playful boy is gone, replaced by this quiet shadow of himself.
**Sleeping with the Cow**
He refuses to sleep inside anymore. Instead, he curls up in the barn every night, clinging to Daisy, our gentle dairy cow, as if she’s his only comfort.
**Parents’ Reactions**
Mom finds his behavior endearing, calling it a sweet quirk. Dad dismisses it as just a passing phase, something he’ll outgrow with time.
**The Whispered Secret**
But I know better. I heard what he murmured to Daisy in the dark when he thought no one was listening. Those trembling words weren’t childish nonsense.
**Something Happened**
There’s more to this story than a simple change in behavior. That trip to the farm changed him in ways our parents refuse to see.
**The Unspoken Truth**
While everyone else smiles at his “cute” habits, I lie awake at night, haunted by what I overheard. Something terrible happened in that barn last fall, and Daisy might be the only one who knows the whole truth.
