Sophie

(Micro Story)

“Can a cow ride a bicycle?” asked Sophie rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

“No, I don’t think so,” replied her mother as she sorted through Sophie's clothes.

“Well, why not?” Frowned Sophie

“They have no hands for a start”

“Then they can ride no handed!” exclaimed Sophie “...like Liam can on his bike”

Sophie's mother stopped sorting her clothes. She watched her daughter sat on the edge of her bed, tapping her knuckles against the wooden drawers, making the sound of a cow's clattering hooves.
