...Brahman Not Covered At Disney World, just to the west, animals talk and dance. At Cape Canaveral, just to the east, sophisticated guidance systems are nothing unusual. In this climate, a pregnant, two-year-old Brahman cow named Julieann last week managed to navigate at least 25 miles of unfamiliar Florida terrain and get back to her former home.

This essentially true tale of a village's resistance is told by the present-day Cecilia to her own child on another night of shooting stars. It may seem the grisliest of bedtime stories, an unholy mixture of Disney and The Disasters of War.
