I was feeling frantic and almost feverish as I combed Bonnie’s hair and added the ribbon to her tail. The smell of hay and the mewling sound of other calves was all around us. Bonnie turned her head to look at me, as if to say, “What in the world are we doing at the fairgrounds?” There was no way that she knew what was happening; but, for me, this was the culmination of several months of work. If Bonnie returned home without a prize, then she would go back to her comfortable life on the farm, but I would be heartbroken.

• The narrator is at the fair and wants to buy a ribbon.
• The narrator is worried that Bonnie is not having a good time at the fair.
• The narrator is competing against Bonnie in a competition at the fair.
