Hope's Heroes pt. 3

     Homer had a more interesting story. He was a twin born to the cow, Agnes. She would only let his brother nurse, so we decided to take him on as bucket calf. He was named after the character from Robert McCloskey's book, Homer Price. He was great, but we didn't have much time to integrate him into our story because we adopted him onto a cow who had lost her calf.

     Corriam was another calf from our neighbor. He also didn't get written into the story much because by then Farm Boy and I actually sort of had lives, so we didn't have as much time on our hands. His gemstone was orange, but I’m not sure of the fancy name for it.

     Lucy was a calf we had the same year as Corriam (Cory), and from the same neighbor. Her mother had died and they couldn't keep her in a pen. She just kind of blundered through the fences and they thought she might have brain damage. Anywho, like I said, we didn't have much time to develop characters so I don’t know much about her. She was the only member of Hope’s Heroes who actually had a super power, but we never discovered exactly what it was.

     Jack Sparrow (aka  Jack Jack, Jacchus, or Jack Boy) is the last of the super heroes that have at this point been a part of Hope’s Heroes. He is super friendly and is fond of chewing on things, especially food and shoes. We got him just this year  from a family in our homeschool group because they had heard we loved bucket calves. No weapon was ever developed for him, but I’m not sure he needs one
because his cuteness could kill ya'.
