Holly watched Charlie run into the petting zoo with her bags of pellets. She was surrounded by small goats in an instant. She fed the piglets first that were romping around carefree. She wasn't afraid to feed them probably because they couldn't reach over and take her bags away from her.

“They're so cute! Oh my gosh. Take my picture feeding them,” remarked Charlie.

Holly took a snapshot of Charlie feeding the piglets and grinned. She began to laugh when Charlie began to feed the tiny goats.

“What's so funny?” asked Charlie.

“There's a goat chomping on the end of your shirt,” laughed Holly, taking another photo.

“Oh no! Let go, baby goat!” shouted Charlie, tugging on her shirt. The goat had a firm grip on the front end of her button down shirt. She looked like she was playing tug-of-war with the small animal. The children in the petting zoo began to laugh as they watched her for a few seconds, some of them pointed, while their parents only smiled. Charlie finally pulled it so hard that the goat let go. The edge of her shirt was left soggy and with traces of green chewed pellets. “That would happen to me,” said Charlie under her breath.

“Aw, it's not so bad. It could have been worse.” Holly took another photo of Charlie.

“You're taking photos of my chewed up shirt?”

Holly giggled. “Sure. I bet we'll both be able to laugh about this later, and you'll want a photo as proof that it wasn't the Zebrasaurus that was trying to eat you, but the baby goat.”

Charlie laughed. “Oh yeah. That's one for the scrapbook of memories,” she said jokingly. “At least it didn't chew a hole in it.”

“Yes, true. And at least you didn't fall down while you were trying to wrestle your shirt away because then I really would have had a pic of you mud wrestling,” said Holly with a wide grin.

“Oh yeah. I forgot you wanted that pic,” laughed Charlie.

“Forget? How could you forget? It was your suggestion at the Twin Steins, remember?” asked Holly playfully.

Charlie watched the family of four that she had seen earlier. The young boy ran from one animal to another petting first one, then another, while his parents watched him closely. Charlie walked up to the boy's mother with a full bag of pellets. “Would you like this bag of food? My friend and I are fixing to leave, and we thought you and your son might want to feed the goats.”

“That's nice of you. Thank you,” said the woman, taking the bag.

“No problem. You're very welcome,” replied Charlie.

“That was a nice gesture,” remarked Holly, as they left the petting zoo and headed toward her truck.

“I noticed that they hadn't bought any food, so I thought they'd like to watch their baby feed the animals.”

“I hadn't noticed. You're very observant,” said Holly. “I'm glad you did that. I bet you made their day.” She opened the door for Charlie, who hopped in happily.

“I guess I might have, just a little,” said Charlie smiling.
