A calf stranded on a frozen

The chopper flew
above the terrified calf,
as it tried in desperation
to gain its footing on
the Oklahoma pond.
The effects of the high wind
from the helicopter’s blades
pushed the frightened
animal across the ice.
But the temperatures
were just at freezing,
so the ice broke under the
flailing hooves of the animal –
but it was able to make it
to dry land safely.
The calf received a welcome
reception from people
waiting by the shore.
