The Granny - Part Three by Joanne Morris Okano

     Well, Granny and Arlington settled into life at their hotel in Torquay and things went along so smoothly that they started praying for challenges to come their way.  Yes, strange people - most of us pray for help with the challenges we have rather than asking for more but they didn't think they were growing enough.
     So one windy day they went out for a walk through some fields near the town where they lived and came across a stile.  Now for those of you not from an area where they have stiles, I will describe one.  It is a sort of stepping bench for stepping over a fence into a field so that people can get in and the animals can't get out.  Stiles are very picturesque.  You see, in England the public are allowed to walk in fields belonging to farmers as long as they stick to the footpaths.
     Anyway, this field looked safe so in Granny and Arlington went.  No sooner had they reached halfway along the footpath when four hot-tempered young bulls approached them, snorting, mad at them that the two had invaded their field.  Oh, no, what to do.  Arlington gallantly waved his walking stick at them and fended them off while the couple gingerly backed towards the other side of the field and made it safely there.  So be careful what you pray for.
     When they reached home, they were rewarded with the good news that Granny's daughter Maude had just had a healthy baby boy, so they had another grandchild!  So Granny knitted like the dickens to make an Aran cable outfit for the baby to wear.
