The farmer was shocked when he returned to the pasture to collect his 32 dairy cows. As he walked into the field, he saw a heartbreaking sight—his cows were lying in a pile, all dead. It was a devastating moment for him, as he had raised these cows with love and care.

At first, the farmer couldn’t understand what had happened. His mind raced with questions. Was there an accident? Had something attacked the cows? He quickly looked around the pasture, but there were no clear signs of any trouble.

The farmer then thought that maybe a predator had caused the deaths, but he didn’t find any animal tracks or signs of injuries on the cows. He began to wonder if a disease or some other kind of accident had taken place to kill the animals all at once.

To get answers, the farmer called a vet to investigate. Together, they carefully examined the cows and searched for any clues. They looked for signs of poisoning or anything unusual in the environment that could explain the sudden deaths.

After some checking, the vet found out what had happened. The cows had been struck by lightning during a storm the night before. The storm had been so strong that the lightning hit the cows, killing them instantly. The farmer hadn’t noticed the storm, but it had been severe.

The farmer felt deep sadness over the loss of his cows. It was an unexpected and rare event. Although he couldn’t change what had happened, he learned a valuable lesson about keeping animals safe during storms, and he promised to be more careful in the future.
