Chickens, Pigs, and Cows Part 17

A new bowl landed on the island. Cows, pigs, and chickens came in it. This bowl was bigger than most and had wheels. Sylvia made me pull it near the crops to keep it a farm section. A few guys offered to join me to help. Sylvia said helping me guarantees they would be on toilet cleaning duty and dishes. Heather and Monica were gathering wood and stones to make a fence for the cows and pigs. Orion and Ashley volunteered to build the fence. Ashley talked his ear off with excitement. Ashley has never seen a pig, cow, or chicken, but she is also a few days old.

Monica put a compost holder in for the chickens. Monica reasoned that the decaying food can attract bugs. The only rule is no meat or trash that can not break down. The meat is going to the fishing group for bait. Meanwhile I was still pulling this bowl to the farm. Sylvia was inside with the animals. I stopped briefly for a break. Sylvia grabbed a bucket of animal feces and dumped it on my head.

"No breaks!!" Sylvia ordered. She clearly was glad to find a way to get revenge on me. Heather popped to see the status of the animals. It may be another hour. I smelled worse than a skunk. I needed a drink of water. I needed a break. I needed to cool off. Sylvia came out with a large glass of water. I tied the rope around my waist so I could fan myself. I saw the droplets roll down her skin as she took big gulps of water. After she was done, she poured a little out at my feet. Then Sylvia laughed like one of those Disney villains probably would do.

Heather came back to count the chickens to know how many nest boxes to build. Heather was still. She could see me miserable. I was practically crawling on all fours. Heather went to the door. Sylvia answered.

"Heather, how are you? Did you see how I got even with Zach?"

"Sylvia. Carl was looking for you."

"Thanks Heather."

Sylvia hopped out. "Heather, can you make sure Zach pulls this alone?

"Sylvia, I can."

When Sylvia was out of our view, Heather handed me her water canteen. I stopped and sipped some. It was so good and cold. "Zach, I am sorry Sylvia was this mean. However, you're not entirely guilty of deserving it. I imagine we have a few minutes until she realizes I lied."
