Mort and the Unusually Big Cow

Story of Mort the Dairyman and his attempt to deal with an unusually big cow that terrorizes a small town.

The story begins when Mort learns that his seven regular-sized cows have been replaced by one very large cow of equal milk producing capacity. This greatly improves productivity, but ultimately proves to be a bad move; upon returning home from his delivery rounds, Mort finds the large cow has been killed by a wandering Troll. He now has until sunrise of the next day to retrieve his original seven cows, which have been entombed in crystal and hidden in dungeons across Battal, or else he will lose his illustorous milk-route to another dairyman.

In the end, it is learned that the large cow long thought dead is actually the Unusually Big Cow (who faked his own death), a villianous figure intent on destruction. Mort must use his wits and the skills he has acquired rescuing the seven regular-sized cows to defeat the Unusually Big Cow before it destroys a small town.

It is, some say, a thrilling read.
