The Holey Three/The Mother Cow

The Mother Cow and the birth of The Great Two Cows
A lowly cow did graze the meadows of Earth, living out her days in splendor and wonder at all she had yet to consume. The cow did eat sparingly, for that which is consumed needs grow again. For many years the cow did ensure the growth and nourishment of that from which she took, making vast efforts to promote its continuous growth and ensure its longevity after she herself had died and been absorbed into her life's work.

In her old age the cow did sit atop her favorite hill and observe what she had spent her life creating and nourishing of her own body. She thought "I have eaten of you for all my life, and, in turn, I have given back from mine own. Without you, I would not exist. Without me, you would not. You have grown and can survive alone now, mine sweet meadow. I shall lay my head down and rest, for my work is done."

And the cow rested for three days.

She awoke to subtle nibbling on her ear, and opened her eyes to see a second cow staring back at her. This stare was shared for many a moment before the other cow turned to gaze over her meadow. "My. Never before have I seen such wondrous grass. Is this a work of yours?" the cow did say, to which she replied "Aye, it is mine life's work. A place for all cow-folk to live and prosper."

They proceeded to ravage each other in fits of divine passion.

Months later her children were born; one male and one female. The mother did look upon her children and exclaim "Oh! For all these years nurturing my meadow, I have never seen such beauty!"

The mother did nurse her young through until they were near-fully grown, and taught them all she knew of her meadow and how to nurture it. She trundled up to the top of her favorite hill, laid down with her head atop her legs, and slept forever more.

In turn, the Earth gave back and ascended her spirit to the stars. Thus, she became The Mother Cow.

The Mother Cow's two children did ascend upon their deaths, having served as she herself did, to become known as the Two Great Cows; Gouda and Mozzarella.
