Tal was helping his father on the farm. 'Take the calf home please,' said his father, 'and make sure you are home by dark.'
On the way home, Tal saw his friends playing nearby. He lets the rope fall from his wrist and goes to join them.
The boys play a game called Benthik, and they need one more to make a team.
While Tal plays with his friends, the calf eats grass. They still have a long way to go home.
The sun is setting and Tal must go now to get home before dark.
But the cow will not come with Tal. He has not finished eating the tasty grass.
The calf storms off, looking for more sweet grass.
Tal wrestles with the calf. 'We need to go now to get home before dark!'
Then they both stop. They hear a sound in the distance. MOOOOOOOOO!
The mum cow is calling her calf home. She wants him home before dark too.
And the calf stops his wrestling. Time to go home.
