Maudiehttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201202/201202080320444861355.mp3There was something else that was worrying Olive, and she did not know just how to begin to talk about it. At last, she spoke out, not sure what Nate's answer would be. "Momma says, I mean Momma thinks, maybe I should go to her house to have the baby. After all, the doctor lives in town. If you could not get him here in time, I do not know what I will do."
She had said it, and she was glad that at last she got the words out. Nate was a quiet, thoughtful and gentle man. He knew that Olive was afraid and he wanted to calm her fears.
"Of course," he answered. "That is a good idea. It would be much easier for you in your mother's house."
Time seemed to be moving slowly, too slowly for Olive. She looked nervously at the cow. She asked Nate when the cow would begin. Nate answered that birth had already stared. Maudie had pain a short time ago. Then Nate began to rub the cow's head. The cow turned its head away from his hands. And then suddenly it came. A frightening bellow that gave Olive a violent shock. Olive could see it clearly, part of the head of the young calf slowly, painfully coming out.还有其他事情困扰着奥利弗，而且她也不知道从何说起。最后，她终于说出来了，不确定内特会有什么样的反应。“妈妈说，我意思是妈妈认为，或许我应该去她家生孩子。毕竟，医生住在城镇里。如果你不能及时把他接到这里我真的不知道我该怎么办。”
她已经说完了而且很开心她终于把话说出来了。内特是一个安静的，有思想的绅士。他知道奥利弗是害怕而且他想去安抚她的恐惧。
“当然，”他回答说。“这是一个很好的主意。在你妈妈的家里生孩子对你来说会容易多了。
时间缓慢的流逝着，而且对奥利弗来说太慢了。她焦急地看着Maudie.问内特Maudie什么时候开始生牛宝宝。内特回答说就要开始了。刚才Maudie感到疼痛了。之后内特开始抚摸Maudie的头，它将头从他的手里转出来。突然它开始生宝宝了，一声令人毛骨悚然的吼叫下了奥利弗一跳。奥利弗可以清楚地看到小牛的头部的一部分慢慢的、痛苦的出来了。
