Kristina and the Vet

 

 

Once on a farm lived an 11 year old girl. Her parents named her Kristina. Kristina was always busy doing her chores. Clean the cow's pen feed the pigs and chickens, and the rest of the farm animals. She was never mad about those chores because she loved being around the animals. 

 

     Now Kristina is 22 years old. Her father said "Kristina, You're 22 years old and you need a job." Kristina said "What job should I do?"   Kristina's Dad said "you are the only one who can pick your own job. So Kristina looked in

the want ads in the newspaper. A few jobs in the ads were; teacher, painter, another librarian or a sales person. Kristina thought about all the jobs, but she thought none of them were quite right.

 

     Then one day, Kristina was talking with her Dad and she said, "Mom, Dad I've looked in all the ads that came out, and none of them are my type."   "Well"' said her father, "just keep looking."

 

      Sunday a new ad came out and this time there was only one job, so she thought she would try it out. It was for a Vet. So she called in to make plans to try out for the job. The next morning she went to the Vet's office. On Monday, the Vet's office called and told her you got the job! You start on  Thursday. So on Wednesday, she shopped for outfits to wear, and gear.

 

     The next day at 7:00am, Kristina woke up and got ready. At 7:30, Kristina leaped into her car to go to work. When Kristina got to the office, patients were already there. Kristina was surprised, so she set off to her room. About 2 minutes later, a patient came in, it was a hamster named Peanut. Peanut's problem was that he wouldn't eat his food. First Kristina weighed Peanut, then she gave him a little shot. Kristina asked the owner if Peanut ate solid food. The owner said yes, so she gave a liquid medicine to Peanut and said to give him 1 more in the afternoon and 1 in the morning, and if he will not eat, make sure to bring him back to the Vet's.

     This time, Kristina had to travel to a farm, because a cow was going to have a calf. So Kristina got on gloves, and put on her gear. Then she went to the Mom cow. Kristina was trying to show the cow that she was

going to help. About half an hour later the calf was born. 

Kristina helped the calf stand up, then checked it's weight.

     Kristina loved her job, and she saved a few animals lives. And that was Kristina's life.

 

     Kristina is a real 11 year old girl in Indiana. Maybe she will be a Vet some day.
