The Two-Headed Calf by Laura Gilpin :(

Tomorrow when the farm boys find this

freak of nature, they will wrap his body

in newspaper and carry him to the museum.


But tonight he is alive and in the north

field with his mother. It is a perfect

summer evening: the moon rising over

the orchard, the wind in the grass. And

as he stares into the sky, there are

twice as many stars as usual.
