A Bull In The Air: How Mr. Moo Saved His MooTube Channel

By Maryam Crogman

This is the story of a big Bull who is nothing like what he appears to be. He looks imposing, powerful, large, confident... but he is actually anxious and not a people person at all. He is delicate, refined, and a social media sensation. He built this virtual world because he is very anxious about crowds, and being outside in the world. Through a fit of life, he is one day forced to leave his comfort zone to go out and find the material that would allow him to keep his channel alive. Avoiding to leave means the cancellation of his channel, his entire life.
So Mr. Moo musters some courage, believes in himself, puts himself out in the world and sets out to save his channel. The vehicle he thought was going to keep him from interacting too much with others is the very object that will push him to interact and realize how beautiful the world is.
Mr. Moo comes back from his journey unlike he thought he would ever reach back home. He will never forget his adventure, nor will the world.

Chapter 1

COUCH LIFE

Isn’t it true that couches are the best spots in the whole world? They are the coziest places, where you can eat yummy things and watch TV, wrapped in your favorite blanket.

Now, grab a good snack and something warm to drink (how about tea?), and sit in your favorite spot, wrapped in your blanket. Then buckle your seat belt because this story is about to take you on a wild journey!

Mr. Moo is a big bull - a really big, beautiful bull who is super cool! He loves fashion and has a MooTube Channel with 5,000 subscribers, Moobers as we call them. He posts videos every day, teaching people about his favorite thing ever - how to make the best tea in the world. He reviews his favorite teas from his collection and gives advice on how to make them taste best. Sometimes, companies send him kettles or mugs or other tea things to try on his channel to encourage his Moobers to buy them. Mr. Moo also helps people feel good, feel better when they are sick, and discover secret flavors from around the world that they’ve never heard of before. That’s what tea does when you drink it - it warms you up inside. When you wake up and it’s cold outside, it makes you feel cozy and gives you energy for the whole day. When you eat too much, it makes your tummy feel better. And at the end of a long day, tea makes you feel all mellow and helps you sleep.

So, imagine big Mr. Moo, bundled up in his cozy robe and sunk into his favorite couch, warming his hooves and holding a mug of steaming hot tea. He takes a few sips, smiles, and just as he does every morning, starts planning today’s video for his MooTube channel.
