Question

the following text is adapted from sarah orne jewetts 1886 short story \a white heron.\

the woods were already filled with shadows one june evening, just before eight oclock, though a bright sunset still glimmered faintly among the trunks of the trees. a little girl was driving home her cow, a plodding, dilatory, provoking creature in her behavior, but a valued companion for all that. there was hardly a night the summer through when the old cow could be found waiting at the pasture bars; on the contrary, it was her greatest pleasure to hide herself away among the high huckleberry bushes, and though she wore a loud bell she had made the discovery that if one stood perfectly still it would not ring. sometimes in pleasant weather it was a consolation to look upon the cows pranks as an intelligent attempt to play hide and seek, and as the little girl had no playmates she lent herself to this amusement with a good deal of zest.

based on the text, what can be inferred about the little girls relationship with her cow?

choose 1 answer:
a she has adapted to the cows mischievous behavior by treating its wandering as an opportunity for entertainment.
