<b>The Worst Cowboy - a collaborative choose-your-own-adventure story by Grade 2</b>
Dominic Nicholls was a terrible cowboy. His dad had always told him. His friends had always laughed at him. But right now, as he stood looking over the empty plains of his ranch, his forgotten morning coffee cooling in the mug in his hands, he realised just how true it was.
The cows were gone.
This is what a ranch normally looks like: lots and lots of fields, sometimes green, sometimes brown and dusty, with dirt roads cutting through them. Cows, huge and bulky, mill around and chew. Wooden fences mark each field, and little shacks that store food and tools are dotted around. Sometimes there are horses and sheep or even emus and alpacas. Dominic stuck to just cows, which he looked after while sitting atop his one horse, and a couple of chickens which he kept for eggs and for Christmas dinner. The horse was called Horse. The chickens were called Squeak. All of them.
When Dominic was growing up, the doors of the low ranch house were always open and it smelled like dust and grass and sunlight. Inside mixed with outside. Now he was the boss, he liked the feeling of closing his ranching life behind the wooden door each day. His house smelled of coffee and baking and apples from the small tree he had in the garden at the back. He had dreamed so many times of never seeing a cow again and, instead, dedicating his life to picking fruit and baking cakes.
He hadn’t imagined fear in his dream, sitting like acid in his stomach. In his fantasies, he didn’t need to think about money to survive. But he had no education and he didn’t know how to do anything, except look after cows and bake. But baking didn’t pay the bills.
He put his coffee down. He had to do something.

Option 5B: [[He gets into his truck, and he leaves for a new life.]]Nancy McCoy arrives at Dominic’s house. Dominic asked her to teach him how to handle cows. Nancy refuses that it is not worth it to teach him. But Dominic explains his situation that there’s nobody to support him financially and have to have a living as a cowboy. She felt sympathy towards him and decides to teach him. Because he didn’t have any cows, Nancy made him to practice with her cow. When she was teaching him, he was terrible from the basic skills. Though he was such a beginner, he practiced hard. That made Nancy changed the attitude towards him. She devoted her time on him. He got better day by day and soon, reached the average level.
One day, Dominic was practicing as usual. Suddenly, the cow pooped on his foot. He was surprised and yelled. He was such a clean boy who never allowed any dust in his house. But because he got a poop on his foot, he yelled. It was so loud that the cow ran away. He chased after the cow but he couldn’t follow the cow’s pace. He was in anguish because she told him that this cow was a prize when she earned first place at the cowgirl competition.

Option 1: [[Tell Nancy the truth.]]
Option 2: [[Nancy recognizes the problem and tell him to pay back.]]
Option 3: [[He changes it to another cow.]]Then, Dominic had a brilliant idea. He thought of his best friend, Nancy McCoy. She was the best cowgirl in the region, and he sometimes asked her for help whenever he had to overcome a hurdle. He telephoned her quickly. After a few seconds of silence, a voice answered.
“Hello Nancy,” he said. “I need your help. All of my cows and chickens and horses are gone. I am a really terrible cowboy.” Dominic could almost hear Nancy sighing over the phone.
“ I’ll reach you as fast as I can.”
He started to search for his cow on the Instagram. There were no search results. Nancy arrived very soon, and they walked around the nearby ranches and tried to find Nicollas’ cows. As they were looking a group of cowboys walked near them. They were sneering with sarcasm.
“I guess you have a problem, Dominic.” One of his friends said. “Did a terrible cowboy make a mistake?”
“Yes,” He replied sadly. His friends laughed at him. He didn’t feel good, however, he admitted that he was a bad cowboy.
“I heard it from Nancy. She told us what a bad cowboy you are. She thinks that you don’t deserve to be a cowboy.” Dominic felt doomed. Was this true? He felt betrayed, but at the same time, he wondered if his friends was saying the truth. He looked at Nancy trying to suppress his feelings.

What happens now?
Option 1: [[Dominic’s friends called all the other boys in the region and gave him a pity. Nancy even smirked.]]
Option 2: [[Nancy stood up for him, and they try to find the missing animals together.]]
Option 3: [[Nancy and friends who teased Domonic disturbed to find cows.]]
Option 4: [[Dominic believed their words. He looked Nancy, saying that he no longer needed help.]]Dominic was sad, depressed, and mostly lonley. "There is no one one my side... Not even my bestfriend Nancy?! I think none of my friends like me at all. I think they are right. I don't deserve to be a cowboy" Nicholls thought.
While he was going home without finding his lost animals there was a <i>DING</i> sound from his phone. He loked at his phone and there was a message from his instagram. The message was from a new boy who just moved in next door. He was Andrew. Andrew said that he saw and heard Dominic getting kind of bullied because he wasn't a good cowboy. Andrew said that he will help Dominic to be a good cowboy like Nancy. He also said to ignore all the bad stuffs Dominic's friends told him.
Dominic was so happy, he was jumping up and down and up and down. Andrew came to Dominic's house and taught him. The lesson continued for about six months. After 6 months Andrew taught Dominic, Dominic became a better cowboy than Nancy was. Also Andrew became Dominic's new best friend to him and I also think I could stand up for myself now. If it wasn't Andrew I couldn't even protect myself! Andrew makes me feel like... me! Andrew and Dominic stayed best friends for their entire life.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]When Nancy heard the truth, at first she got furious about what Dominic Nicholls, once her best friend had just done. Losing a cow, that she loved and cared for? She couldn't accept the truth that her cow was gone, for a lot of time. During the time, Dominic was getting sorrier and sorrier as time passed. At one moment, he decided to look for the cow, which will be in the forest.
He only had one week because of his best friend, Nancy's birthday is only one week left. The first three days didn't work out so well. No clue, no footprints or anything. On the fourth day, he finds a new place, full of swamps and mud. In the swamp, there were alot of footprint, and so much plants. But he couldn't miss the golden bell that Nancy's cow always had on the neck. It was dropped on the grass, without any dust on it, clear as if it was cleaned this morning.
He thought "The cows near, finally I can see Nancy's face!" Reliefing Dominic searched more and more, but he couldn't find the cow, so he just returned thinking, "it's 90% done, can any thing go wrong now?" and went to sleep.
When he woke up, he wasn't alone. There he could hear rain being together with him. He was so worried now, thinking how the footprints would wash away. He ran over to the swamp right away but he found something worse. The level of water was too high that he can't explire it well enough. He suddenly regreted the selection of returning home early and thinking so stupidly. Now there is only 3days left. The newspaper he read in the morning said it will take 1 or 2 weeks for the water level to get down to normal. He thought and thought for a way out of this situation.
He decided to just swim. It hurted his body because of the under water plants but it couldnt stop him or slow him down. He couldn't see Nancy's face if he gives up now. He needed to find the cow, for Nancy's birthday. He heard the cow Moo-ing and right away headed to the sound.
The cow was quite good at swimming so he could easily take him out of the swamp. After that day he always finished work fast as he can.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Dominic was thinking that he should pay her because her lesson was a big help, but Nancy called out too expensive so Dominic persuades her, but fails. Finally, Dominic borrows money from the bank and pays her, but the problem now is the bank. 5 years later, Donimic borrows money again to buy more cows from Nancy, but he fails and sells every thing he has except for Horse. He gave all the money he has to the bank and Nancy, but it wasn't enough for even half of the money he borrowed.
He eventually ran away with Horse, and arrives to a village he have never seen. Nancy chases Dominic, and when he was working for a restaurant, Nancy finds him.
Nancy caught him and she made him to work for her, instead of paying back all money. The thing he had to do was managing all animals she had, hunting animals for food, cooking food, cleaning dishes... Finally, Dominic died because he worked too much for about seven years (He never got a time to rest.)

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Dominic is afraid of Nancy so he changes her cow to his cow.
Next day, Nancy went to her cow that Dominic had changed. Soon she relized that it wasn't her cow. It was Dominic's! She thought of a moment, 'Why is this here? Where's my precious cow? Did Dominic stole it?' Then Dominic came to her house. He was acting as normal. Nancy started to ask about the cow.
"Where is my cow?" she asked.
"What cow?" Dominic applied, "I can't understand what you are talking about."
"My precious cow!" she says
"Oh the cow that I watched yesterday. I don't know." said Dominic, "I think you lost your cow." said Dominic.
"No way, I should make a poster and find it." said Nancy.
Some days after phone rang. Nancy picked up the phone. The person said "I found your cow."
Nancy said, "Oh! I will pay you 100 dollar for you." The person said "Thanks." Nancy was relieved to find her cow. 'Dominic didn't stole the cow, yes. Dominic isn't bad person.' she thought. Then Dominic came to Nancy to thank him teaching out cowboy. Nancy says, "I found the cow!" then a minute later she says, "then what is 'that' cow?"
Dominic starts to explain all of the truth. He knows he can't keep the truth secret for ever. And he is an honest guy. Now Nancy understands all the truth and congratulates Dominic to become perfect cowboy. Nancy now thinks 'It wasn't bad experience to teach Dominic. Dominic is good guy. I hope he becomes a wonderful cowboy some day.' Nancy and Dominic celebrated together all day long.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Dominic shook with fear. He left the owner and the car, running into his house. He rocked back and forth on his chair. "What should I do? I lost my cows. I've killed the politician, and soon the police is going to be here!" Just then, he had an idea. He was going to leave the region. He didn't like being a cowboy anyway. He began to pack. He made sure to to take all his money and his chickens (Squeaks). He was planning to bake. It didn't pay the bills but it was better than becoming a criminal. He calmed himself down and went to bed to prepare for the next day's departure.
Dominic woke with a start. The sun was up. It was almost noon. He jerked the curtains open and there were 3 police cars in the street. He looked at his ranch. Some of the cows had arrived home, but they weren't in such a good shape. He had to leave, now.
He saddled up his horse (He didn't have a proper car) and rode outside with his belongings. The police stopped him at first sight.
"Hey, where do you think you are going? Someone has killed the mayor and we think you are guilty of this crime." Dominic -<i>without thinking</I>- kicked his horse. The horse neighed and ran. The police immediately chased him down. He was soon caught. Horse could not beat the police cars.
"Hands in the air!" The police shouted. Dominic cried, "I didn't mean to! I just needed money, that's all."
He was immediately send to jail and was sentenced to his life. One day, he got a visit from his father. "Dad!" he cried. Mr. Nicholls sighed, "Son, what have you done? If you had trouble cowherding you should have called me."
"I thought I would disappoint you." Dominic sobbed. Mr. Nicholls said "You always liked baking. I know you can't come out to the society anymore, but you can always try in jail. I'm sorry son for making you cowherd. I should have known earlier."
Dominic said through sobs, "Thank you dad. I truly regret what I did. I will try to be a good son, although it's too late."
Dominic and Mr. Nicholls cried together. Sometimes finding things that you find enjoyable may be the best job for you. I hope that the reader of my story can find the job that they think is enjoyable in life. Thank you.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Dominic was scared. He just planned to steal the car and pay the bills. However he hit the owner of the car accidentally. The car owner was already dead. Dominic imagined the public blame him a murderer. Although he could not be educated, he realized that his behavior was a crime. He called the police in a hurry. He told the police what he did to pay a bill. After he told all of his crime, he was judged 50 years to live in a prison. Dominic's lawyer worried him that he will live as a beggar after he turned back into the society. So, the lawyer required the director of a prison to give Dominic works such as cleaning the floor of a prison. Dominic was paid 12 dollars a week for his work and he steadily saved money to pay a bill. Finally, Dominic could pay the bills and he still cleaned the floor of buildings after he returned to the society.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Dominic felt nothing, and continued to drive. He drove far away to the city. The car was being scratched all over, but he didn't care. It was dirty now. He thought that it wasn't his fault, and it was just because the roads were bumpy. However, as he drove into the middle of the city, problems got worse. There was traffic jam, and a lot of cars were speedily rushing past him. "What do I do now?" he sighed. He drove the fancy and expensive car to the 'Used Car Market'. He got off the car, telling the person sitting there that this car that he wants to sell is very expensive. The person checked the car's condition and frowned.
"Where did you drive this car to?" he asked, "No one wants to buy a dirty car like this."
He got only a quarter of money than he had expected. He walked home, his shoulder drooped. On his way home, he found a man lying on the ground.
"Oh no!" he said. "I should go and help him!"
He carefully looked at the man's face. He had seen this man before. He thought hard, then realized that this man was the car's owner. He also remembered that he heard a bumping noise while he was driving. He had hit the man! He called the hospital. An ambulance came to rescue the man. He got on the ambulance, too. Would he live? He wasn't so sure.
The nurses took him away. He waited for a long time. After a few hours, he heard that the man was alive. He didn't have the confidence to go and visit him, so he paid the money he earned from stealing the car and went back home.
So he was penniless again, he thought. Full of worries, he slept because it was dark.
The next day began with a phone call. "Hello?" he answered. "Hello, are you the one who saved me yesterday?" Then, he remembered the accident yesterday. "Yes," he said. "I'm so sorry... I even sold your car."
The man laughed, "It's okay. You were very polite to take me to the hospital. If you didn't come, I would've not been alive."
Dominic was confused, "But I was the one who almost killed you." he replied.
"People make mistakes. I even make mistakes myself. And for the car, I was going to sell it. Thanks for selling it for me. And not stealing the money. So, I called you to ask if you need any help. Is there anything bothering you?"
"Yes," he sighed, "I lost all the animals. I am a terrible cowboy."
"Don't worry, I'll buy some cows and horses for you. Wait until tomorrow." After he hung up the phone, he was relieved. He had helped a man's live, and he got his job back! He waited happily for the animals to come.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]He was so angry to Nancy. He used to silly Dominic but suddenly inside Dominic's heart the lava was coming to the top.
"Why are you keep making fun of me. It isn't my fault that the cows are on lose!" Dominic shouted.
"Nope it is your fault. You didn't have any attention to the cows." Nancy answered calmly.
"I was sleeping that time!" Dominic was still angry.
"I would just catch cows instead of shouting." Nancy told him. He was very good at taking care of Dominic.
"Oh yes. The cows!"
Dominic followed the cows. Nancy thought he is a stupid boy. For 3 hours, Dominic caught the cows. Nancy was kept watching him.
"Wow, you did good job, Dominic." Nancy told him.
"Yeh I know. Wait you don't think that I am silly do you?"
"Of course. Why would I think like that."
"You always say that things to me."
"Nah. What are you talking about. Let's go home."
Nancy took the cows and walk home. Dominic followed him. He thought "friends are friends" and smile.
Next day, Dominic woke up and made a morning coffee and went out.
"What a wonderful day. No clouds. No chickens. What? No chicken?" He ran to the chicken farm. There was a note saying <i>I just borrow your chickens for a week - Love dad.</i>
"Wow I was so surprised."

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]He had enough of her. He ignored whatever she sayed to him.
Nancy also got angry of him and didn't talk to him anymore. Suddenly, the cow Dominic was finding appeared infront of them. This was the chance for them to catch the cow. However, as they fought, they couldn't talk to each other about how to capture it. So, of course the cow ran away again. The both of them were glancing at each other. Then, Dominic started blaming Nancy for not helping him catch the cow back. Nancy in a powerful tone, said "This started because you ignored me in the first place!"
Dominic had nothing to say because her words were all right. However, he didn't want to show her that he feels sorry so he said back, "This is because you didn't act quickly when the cow appeared." Nancy was frustrated with him and went back to her house immediately. When she was on her way home, she saw Dominic's cow grazing on the fields. She first thought of just passing by, but because she didn't want any more of his complains, she stopped to catch his cow. As she was the best cowgirl in town, it was a piece of cake for her to allur it to her car trunk. She was thinking of going straight back to Dominic but was so mad at him that she brang the cow to her ranch.
One day, Dominic was passing by Nancy's house when he saw a familiar silluette in her ranch. He stopped and got closer. As he got closer, he recognized that it was his cow in the ranch. At that moment, Nancy came out of her house and found Dominic. He asked her to explain the situation, so she did. She was ready to hear him complaining about keeping the cow in her ranch, but he didn't. He rather thanked her and told his real feeling when she helped him find his cow. Nancy was surprised to see him act in this manner. She said its fine now and told him to bring his cow back. Their conflict was resolved. Soon, they became best friends. He always worked as a cowboy with Nancy. Because he worked with someone he like, he didn't think of baking again and improved his skill as a cowboy. He skill was advanced enough that he won 1st place on the cowboy competition.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]He didn't know why he kills Nancy. He just became so mad, so it happened suddenly. He must think how to live a new life with no cows. He started to find a new job to do. He actually do need his supporters to help him, but everyone didn't talk to him after he murdered Nancy. He didn't have anything. He have no money, cows, house and education. The only thing he has is 'skills of baking' He knew that baking doesn't make much money. But he need to do anything to alive.
He went to the bakery in the small town. The manager of this small bakery was an old lady. He said that he want to work here, to her. But she refused because she doesn't need some people to work at the backery. It was so smal, and very few people came there. But he didn't forigve it. And he went to bakery to get permisson everyday. The lady thought he's passion was great. Therefore, he started to work there.
After he worked at the bakery, it became famous place. Many people came there to eat popular bread. The bakery was cozy and pretty, so there were someone who comes there to take pictures.

So, he went to Nancy's house to meet her family to apologize. Her parents didn't want to see him at first. They turns off the TV, when Dominic appears at the monitor. But they decided to apologize him. At first, he didn't know their minds and apologize with his money that he earned by bake. But her parents said, "We already apologize you, can you make some bread for us?"
In conclusion, her parents apologize him, and tried to eliminate the bad memory.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]The police officer and Dominic started gathering the cows. The police officers banned people to entrance downtown and it became easy for Dominic to gather his cows. At that moment, Nancy was just sitting in her car, watching all the situations. Dominic finished gathering his cows and say thank you to the police officers. From the beginning, Dominic was very kind to police officers, and he gathered his cow really hard. While Nancy watching this situation, she could feel the mind of Dominic that he really wants to be good at handling the cows. It touches her mind and Nancy decided to teach Dominic how to handle the cows.
The next day, she started teaching Dominic and she realized that what's the problem of his way of handling the cows. Dominic is much smaller than the cows, so he was little scared of cows. Nancy started the project named "To make Dominic and Cows a friend," but day by day, Dominic's scareness of the cows are getting smaller.
A few weeks later, the project ended succesfully and Dominic is now a nice cowboy. Dominic can earn more money, thanks to Nancy. Now, Dominic and Nancy can handle cows together because Dominic's cow handling level had upgraded. Dominic, Nancy and the cows will be a good friend forever. He had stopped baking for a while because of cow handling, but now he is good at that part so he started baking again. Now, he spends his time handling cows and baking cakes. He is really happy!

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]While posting the photo of his well-baked anxiety cake on instagram and Facebook, an idea pops into his head. He can use SNS to find his cows! But first, Dominic wants confirmation and plans from a good friend. He rides his horse, Horse(his name is horse LOL. what do you think I meant?), and he goes to Nancy McCoy’s house. At first, Nancy laughs at him for being the worst cowboy in town - as usual, but then hears about Dominic’s ‘brilliant idea’ and decides to help him. But they still don’t have a solution. They need to hatch a plan to find Dominic’s cows. What will they do? And what will the results be?

Option 1: [[They post a missing poster on instagram with a reward of 1/10 of Dominic’s cows(he has about a hundred cows.)But, no one is interested in his posts other than his baking pictures. After about 3 days, he became desperate. His last hope is Nancy’s instagram.]]
Option 2: [[They started to post a picture of one of his cows(called Cow. Dominic is rubbish in making names, and he isn’t the sharpest crayon in the box) on the instagram. A few days later, someone called Dominic. He said “ I sold all of your cows. I can’t remember who bought your cows. I’m not in this country now so I can’t meet you right now. Find out who bought your cows by yourself.” He gave some clue to him. The person who bought spoke Spanish and he was from Japan.]]
Option 3: [[He made a cake a shape of his cows. And he post on instagram to find his cows. Then one person report him that I think that it’s your cow. But the problem is that two cowboys lost same amount of cow.]]
Option 4: [[He does not do anything. His baking is good, no doubt about it, but it’s not enough. He can’t pay his bills with only his baking. He needs a last resort.]]He decides to sell cakes and bread because his friends likes his posts of them. He had many followers in his instagram, so he thinks to open a bakery. Make money and buy cows, that was his great idea. The first day of his business was successful. His friend, Nancy starts her own bakery business too.

What does they do now?
Option 1: [[Fight]]
Option 2: [[compete]]
Option 3: [[go out together]]
Option 4: [[work together]]They post a missing poster on Instagram with a reward as 1/10 of Dominic's cows. He had about hundred cows. But no one is interested in his posts other than his baking pictures. After about 3 days, he became dsperate.
His last hope was Nancy's instagram. She was instagram influencer with 500million followers, but he didn't knew it. He asked her to post a missing poster of his cows. After she posting it, she got lots of DMs. She told him about the DM, but he didn't believe her that she recieved so many contacts. Since hd didn't knew that Nancy is influencer, so did it.
So Nancy went alone to find Dominic's cows. They person who had Dominic's cow was old man. He told her to give him reward. So, she failed to bring back all, but majority of his cow came back to Dominic by Nancy. But Nancy felt sorry for it. He thanked to her.
After few months, he saw her instagram. She had two account, which had 50 followers and 500 millin followers so Dominic couldn't recognized that she is famous in instagram. He knew it by his friend.
Then, he called her again and promised to give his cow.
So they lived happily ever after.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Dominic started to find out who bought his cows. He thought that he couldn't find the person who bought his cows with one clue. He went to Spain first. He found out that there is a big cow market in Barcelona. So, he went there. There were not many Asians. So, he could find the Japanese man. His work was to sell cows in Spain.
Dominic asked him where is his cows. Then, the Japanese answered "I sold them to Spanish man. He bought cows to eat. So, if you are finding your cows, that's impossible." Dominic was so disappointed to himself. He came back to his farm and looked around the empty farm. He didn't have money to buy cows. He was so sad and became very sick. He died because of the illness when he was just 35 years old. His friend Nancy was very sad and felt guilty about laughing at him. Nancy became a good person and did many good things to help poor people.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Another cowboy saw the post, too. Because he had lost his cows, he thought that Dominic was lying to increase the amount of cows. So, he sent the direct message to a person. But the person was so busy to take care of his own cows, he couldn't answer. Therefore, another cowboy started to walk to the person's house.
Dominic went to the person's house too. he said that the cows are outside. Dominic followed him. The cows' colors, size, everything were same with his cows. However, another cowboy appears. He said that the cows there were absolutely his. Dominic was nervous. He thought that Nancy would tell the cowboy to have the cows. Dominic thought that he will never give the cows to him. And then, Dominic's friend (in the past) passed by there. Dominic wanted him to say the cows are his. However, the friend seemed to be more familiar to another cowboy. The friend said to the person who has the cows now that Dominic is such a silly cowboy. He said that another cowboy is not a person like Dominic. Nancy started to say.
"So... your friend, that cowboy is kind, strict and so smart, right?"
"Yes, sure! My friend is very intelligent and clever guy."
"But... he lost his cows, right?"
"Yes... so what?"
"Then why did you lost your cows, very very smart and clever sir?"
The cowboy didn't have any excuses.
"I just... I just... I just..."
At that time, a woman seemed to be the mother of another cowboy came up and yelled.
"Your cows were on the mountain behind our house!" (Another cowboy's cows and Dominic's cows were really similar. But another cowboy's cows were a little older than Dominic's. Dominic felt happy. Nancy looked at Dominic and smiled.
And Nancy said, "Real silly boy was you, sir."
After they finished the situation, Dominic asked Nancy, "Why did you ehlp me?"
Nancy said, "You are such a silly cowboy of course, but I'm not. You were having a nervous face and saying nothing, but I found the mistakes of his saying. That's our difference, silly boy."
If she said like that in the past, maybe he would be angry, but this time he didn't. Even, he felt happy to be a silly boy!

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]He had to make a decision, but he couldn't. He called Nancy to advise him. And she said.
"Make a bakery and sell your cakes!"
And Dominic said
"But I never know it will succes..."
"Then you can promote your bakery on instagram and I would do in mine too!"
Nancy gave him a cool decision and he was so excited about it. Nancy had a lot of followers so his bakery got popular in one week. Now he found his own path and he is having fun in it. Also, he earned lots of money and made more bakery. He's bakery was successful. Everyone said that he was a terrible cowboy, but now he found his new path which he is good at it and it was very successful. And he knew that every people have things that they're good at it also it could be very successful like himself. Now, he is a boss of many bakeries. And about the cows, he found them and he send them to a farm that doesn't had cows. He sometimes think about his life as a cowboy and he always end his thought thinking "The cows are happier than, and I am, so it was a perfect decision."

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]A few hours, on Dominic's instagram, there are many comments which refer Nancy who starts a new bakery. He searches if Nancy is reallly his friend, McCoy. He can't believe that. His best friend copies his own business. He gets very angry. He called her as fast as he can.
"Did you copy my business? How can you do like that!"
"What? I didn't know about that. You didn't tell me anything to me! Well... did you copy me?"
"Wow... you're so great. You acted as if you didn't copy me."
"I'll show you I become a rich."
"Me, too. I'll earn my money more than you!"
Nancy decorates her bakery life a cafe. Her bakery is a good place to take photos for Instagram, so many people come to her bakery.
However, Dominic doesn't do anything. His baking is good for watching, but it tastes bad. So he focuses on making delicious bread and cookies. But it is always failed. He gets tired about it, so he finally closes his bakery.
He works on Nancy's bakery. He really doesn't want to do, however he has to earn money for his family.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Dominic was overjoyed at the first day’s business. He thought he could make a lot of money and buy a cow. His Instagram followers are so large that the promotion through Instagram during his business was a powerful weapon. Many people promised to visit his bakery because he photo shopped his bread deliciously and tagged his bakery. But Dominic had one thing to worry about. It was his own cooking skill.
The first day of business managed to get by, but as many people became interested in his food, Dominic enrolled in a cooking academy, questioning his cooking skills. He had a great desire to make his business a success, so he goes to a culinary academy downtown. He improved cooking skills there by taking classes three times a week. However, a week later, Dominic’s friend Nancy also enrolls in a cooking academy.
Nancy said she would also run a bakery to make a big business. Nancy is his best friend and competitor so Dominic wondered where Nancy would open the bakery. After two months, Dominic started new bakery in downtown. His father, who was farming around, often came to eat bread with his coworkers. And Dominic consistently posted sales by promoting his bakery on his Instagram. Nancy also became a huge success by selling bread and cakes. Dominic goes to Nancy’s bakery and yells for his business, that had failed. Nancy avoids Dominic without making excuses.
Feeling betrayed, Dominic sells his shop and moves to another area. And Dominic, like Nancy, plans to make a new bread. But he didn’t want to copy what Nancy did so he decided to maintain his own identity. Think that Instagram users are mainly students, he decided to create a space for students to enjoy food while studying and finally opened a store. As expected, his bakery became a big hit and made a lot of money. And he bought a cow. Leave the store to a part-timer and come back to his house and went to Nancy. He appreciates Nancy, saying he would have failed without questioning his skills if she hadn’t set up a shop next to him. As Nancy thanked Dominic for recognizing her true feelings, Nancy closed her bakery and set up a bakery with Dominic.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]The two people went to have lunch together, and they have a nice conversation. Then, the conversation moves onto business. They talk about it, and think together how they should do it. But from one moment, Nancy starts to talk about how he was the worst cowboy and how he suddenly opened a bakery. Dominic got offended when she talked about it, and their conversation gets tensed up. The small conflict becomes a big fight, and in the end, it was a screaming mess. They went to the bakery, and in a few weeks, they were cooled down, and they got sorry to each other.
One day, the two were just walking down the town and they meet each other coincidently, and they had a good, long talk. They found out that they mistunderstood each other. Nancy was worried of Dominic in the past becuase he was a bad cowboy, but she was happy that he found his job, and Dominic was just annoyed and stressed by beig the worst cowboy. They say their apologies, and they become friends, helping each other when they needed it.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Getting on the horse he started to think. Why did his cows get out of the fence and get on to the wild. He knew he was a bad cowboy, but he always recognized to lock up the fences and always check if there are any holes in the fence. He thought ‘Where are the cows gone to??’. Then he just got the sense of the case. He recognized the newspaper that he saw two days ago. It was about the difficulty that the biggest milk factory in USA, named MILKISH was going through. This was it, he thought. They stole his 108 cows, and used them to get through the difficulty. As time passed, He gradually felt sure about this and ran to downtown on his horse to meet the CEO of MILKISH, but he couldn’t just get into the building and meet the CEO. He searched for a way to get in the building naturally. That moment, he saw a poster recruiting people who wants to try out the facilities of MILKISH. He put in the documents right away. And the next day he got into the building and searched for his cow. The little reddish cow. After some searching he saw a lot of cows getting into the building including the red one he was sure about. After seeing his cows, he got furious and ran to the room of the CEO. Nobody could stop him, or slow him down. When he opened the door of the CEO room. He saw the CEO handing over stacks of money to Nancy, the best cowgirl in town.

What does he do now?
Option 1: [[Runs into the CEO and tries to punch his head, but the CEO blocks it, and draws his P92(hand gun)]]
Option 2: [[asks the CEO why is his cow here and draws his shotgun]]
Option 3: [[he faints, and Nancy smiles at him and draws her shotgun]]He goes riding with his Horse, to find the lost cows. He can ask anyone to help him, even Nancy.
But he is dumb. So he goes solo.
<b>by Jenny, Kelly and May</b>
What happens now?
Option 1: [[While he was riding a horse, the rider admired his horse riding skills. So a horseback rider encourages him to be a horseback rider.]]
Option 2: [[The horse guide him to a desert.]]
Option 3: [[He fell of the horse- the horse was spooked by a chicken who gave them a jump scare.]]
Option 4: [[He is kidnapped while riding a horse.]]Dominic Nicholls runs into the Ceo, but the Ceo blocks it and draws his handgun. He said, "Well, well Dominic, nice to see you." Dominic said, "Give my cows back!"
Ceo said, "Yes. I stole your cows, but it is just a little thing compare to what your father did to me."
"What did my father do to you?" Said Dominic. "My father and you were best friends."
Ceo said, "Yes we were... but not now, he was always jeoulus to me, so he killed my cows one by one, I didn't noticed it but one day I found out when ever your father comes to me, cow dies."
"How much did my father kill?" said Dominic. Ceo said, "108."
Dominic said, "But why are you doing this to me?" Ceo said, "Because I can't find him, and because of your father I lost a chance to make the biggest milk company in the world."
"Just give me my cows back, then I will do everything for you." said Dominic. Ceo said "Kill your father." Dominic started to think, he hates his father, but he is still his father.
At that moment, Nancy McCoy said "It wasn't his father, it was me. Dominic's father came to stop me from killing cows, I killed your cow because you stole cows from many farms." and Nancy McCoy killed the Ceo and she went to the jail. Dominic got his cows back, and he made a milk company. He used instargram as an advertisement of his company. He didn't steal other people's cows, like the Ceo. But everybody has an ability about something, he had ability to post good pictures in instagram, this worked well, his company grew through Instagram.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Option 1: [[CEO said that Dominic wouldn't, couldn't take good care of his cows and Nancy could do it.]]
Option 2: [[Actually, the cows that CEO has, isn't Dominic's cows.]]She said, "You cross a line and I hate that. give 5 seconds to run away." He cannot run away because he faints now. But the time goes. At that moment, he wakes up and turn off the light in the room. She shoot shotgun three times. <I>Bang! Bang! Bang!</I> But it missed. He turn on the light and sees CEO is shot by her.
She is surprised and she faints. At that moment, he steals the keys to open all rooms in this factory. Anyone can't stop him because they have to chase him after returning the cows to their room. So he riding the cows with many cows that he lose. And successfully, he comes back to his home with returning his cows. He thinks that I'm the best cowboy in the world because he revenge to his friend who is his best friend and the best cowboy. He becomes confidence and being a real great cowboy.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Dominic cannot help to agree it. So Dominic suggested to CEO to give him a higher percentages of company's incomes, actually forced him. CEO had to agree it. Milkish became larger and larger. Dominic regreted about his taking bad care of the cow even though he had enough money. And he became to respect CEO. He stole Dominic's cows but when he look CEO's success, he envy him. He wanted to be like him, so he began to earn more money.
Dominic had enough money to establish company. So he founded the company Kelog which is the biggest cereal company. Nowadays, most people eat cereal from Kelog and Milk from Milkish in the morning. Kelog and Milkish helped each other and two companies became the biggest company in the world!
Nancy saw this situation and she decided to found her company. She was furious about Dominic's succeed so she decided to early. Her company was called Eggie, the egg company. But she often hit chickens and chickens' egg weren't in good condition. So her company collapsed only in a year. It's because of her recklessness. Her sight was to narrow because of anger.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]He just bought them from a different ranch with his own money. So CEO is very surprised of him. Actually, Nancy McCoy also didn't sold Dominic's cows. She just wanted to help him with buying a cow from the CEO. She was surprised, too.
Nancy McCoy introduced the CEO and told him the true story. Finally, Dominic apologized to the CEO. The CEO listened to his sad story and decided to help him. So, they became a good friends. :)

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Dominic was very surprised because Nancy always told him that his riding is terrible. But he trusted the rider because he had five stars on his shoulder which indicates the best rider. Dominic followed the rider, who led him to a mystery room. Dominic listened the rider, Jack's explanation to become the best rider, he even forgot to find the lost cows.
Jack taught Dominic special riding skills such as kicking rivals, starving horse to make it fast through three months. Right. He was a swindler. But this fool Dominic didn't notice until his first riding match started. Many famous riders including Nancy entered this match. Dominic firstly came into the line, but he didn't get any prize because he kicked other riders three times, and spitted two times, it was against the rule. Dominic then realized that Jack was a lier, so he complained to Jack, who was taking care of Dominic's cows.
Dominic was very shocked, and shouted him to return them. But Jack didn't, he told that they are the teaching fees from last three months.
Dominic losed all his cows, and became very, very depressed. Then, his best friend Nancy came and told him that he might have a talent on riding, because his speed was very fast. Nancy also put a star on his shoulder which indicates the 'riding starter'. Dominic determined to be the best cowboy like Nancy.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Crossing the desert he got thirsty. He only had three bottle of water. No track of the cows, he decided to find water because he also needed water for the horse. He ate a tiny piece of bread. He realised that the horse needed water and grass, but neither of them can be found in the desert. They were tired but there wasn't any shades to block the hot sunlight. He rested under the horse to get shades. He climbed on the horse. Horse kept guiding him to desert.
'I've heard that horses could smell cows,' he thought. Dogs were the animals that could track the cows, but the foolish boy had to belive in his horse. The horse found the water but it died. Dominic took the meat and made water bottle from the horse. He walked and walked. Then he heard the cows. He climbed over a sand hill. There he found his previous cows, his treasures that could pay his bills. The cows were more clever than him and the horse.
All the cows went back safe to home. Dominic was happy about the cows. He forgot about his horse that helped him. He makes up a story and told it in town he became a famous cow boy.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]When he fell of the horse and found the chicken he thought 'Why is the chicken here?' Because this place is not for the chicken. He thought 'Yes! The cattle thief will be nearby?' But what he is wrong is it is not cattle thief, it is cattle thieves.
He followed trace of chicken. He walked long distance (because he lost his horse). And he saw thieves with many tents. One of the theives saw him and catch him. He was asked by thieves. One thief asked him 'Why are you here? What do you want?' Be he couldn't answer because of fear.
If there were one thief, he could handle it but there were so many thieves.
One thief said to the thief who looked like a boss.
"He doesn't even look like a spy, why don't we use him as an errand boy?"
"That's a good idea. Hey you! You have to work for us since you catched by us." said the boss thief.
"Ye... yes sir." he answered not to murdered by them. After that, he had to work for them (cooking, doing laundry...)
There were many chance to run away, but he always failed because he was dumb. So he worked and worked for thieves until his death.

A strange man took his hand and pull down from his horse he fell down, and he nocked down. He is kidnapped. Nancy feels something wrong and starts to find him. The kidnapper was Dominic's friend's father. He kidnapped Dominic because once, Dominic said to his friend, dumb. Friend's father was very angry with this, so he kidnapped him. However, soon.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]At first, he didn’t make a destination and went as far as he could go. He felt like he could find something when he goes far away. He think that going with his best friend would be better than going alone. So he make a call to his best friend, Nancy McCoy who is the best cowgirl. Nancy readily accepted to go together. So she get on the truck and she suggested to make a destination. They decided to go to Dominic dad’s bakery to help him. They finally arrived to the bakery, and met his dad. The time was too late, so they decided to sleep at his dad’s house and help him next day. In the early next morning, they smelled something burning. They went outside, and the lots of people were crowding in front of his dad’s bakery. Dominic noticed that there was a fire in the daybreak!

Dominic plans to go to the city first, but he decides to let Nancy know. Besides, Nancy was there for him all the time - what could happen?]]
Option 2: [[He met his best friend Nancy to have time with her. She killed him with jealousy. So he decide to revenge as a ghost.]]Dominic entered the pathway leading to Nancy's backyard. Nancy greated Dominic with a smile, and soon her face fell. Dominic told Nancy all about it, and he also says that he's planing to go on to the city now. It could be a whole new chapter for him.
Nancy mocked him, and tells Dominic that he has no money - how can he run his life in that big city all by himself, not knowing anybody or the road. But Dominic shows Nacny his vallubles, saying that it will be all okay. She offers him to stay the night before the opening day.
While Dominic is helping out in the garden for their dinner, Nancy takes a close eye on what Dominic brought. It could make quite some money, and was was such a high price, too high for Dominic, but Nancy had a felling that she was the owner for them. Nancy was always filled up with a little bit of jealousy. <i>If he could have it, I could do! Won't he spilt some for me? I helped out so much! So much and so little... so little.</i>
When Dominic came back with her basket, Nancy could not control herself. She was not her, just jealousy. Nancy killed Dominic right there - at the moment when she was full of jealousy.

The firefighters had told them that there were no survivors. Their trip turned into a total disaster in less than a few hours. Dominic was thinking hard about his next move. He didn't even have his father's body. All he could do for now was to cry and cry... But then, one thought flashed through his mind. He stood up, and told Nancy to follow. They headed for the town's police office, Dominic wanted to check the situation before the fire by using the opposite streat's CCTV. In the video, he could not see anything particularly suspicious.
Already the firefighters have told them that the reason of the fire was the friction of the barrels and the wall, but Dominic didn't buy the idea. Dominic replayed the video several hundred times, but he could not see anything.
"It's okay, accidents happen. Only this time, just a little serious." Thought Dominic. When he was a child, Dominic's father had told him. "If I die, remember I'm always alive inside your heart. WHenever you call me, I'll always be there."
Dominic and Nancy packed their bags, ready to start a new journey. Only this time, they had a companion.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]He felt sorry to his dad and Nancy, but when he left at the bakery, he has to pay all of the money for the fire damage because his dad or mom don't have any money. He would like to go back to his ranch, but he think his father and Nancy will find him easily. So he started to make his plan inside the truck. He think for a minute, and finally made a decision. He planned to go to the train station first.
Then, take any train and go as far as he could. When he arrives at other station, he's going to find a small bakery to work there. And work there quietly that no one knows. He act same as his plan and have a job working on a bakery. The reason why he chose baking for his job is 'baking' is the only thing he can do well.
The first day of working at a small bakery which is on the suburb, he was flad and nervous. However, his biggest emotion was 'guilty'. All night, he is spenidng hard time because of nightmare. He still felt sorry to his family and his best friend but he never regrets his vhoice. And he also strongly thik when he earn enough money at the bakery, he will go back to his country and visit his family and friends. But who knows how long that will be? He tried his best, so he earned money and bought a cow. He thinks animals make him comfortable than people sometimes.
He worked hard, so he felt like time is going so fast. Three years has passed after the fire on his dad's bakery. Now, he had his own house and some money on his bank. So he think for all night and made a decision. On this year Christmas, I will visit my country and apologize to my family and my friend, Nancy.
Christmas has come to him, and he was standing in front of his dad's house. He was hesistating about pushing the bell. He pushed the bell and the bell rang. "Who is it?" It was his father's voice.
"Dad... it's me, Dominic..." Dad was so surprised and scared even he cannot say anything. Few seconds later he said, "What? D... Dominic? Weren't you dead? Our family and Nancy thought you were gone because of the fire! Where were you? Are you okay? I missed you a lot, my son."
"I'm sorry dad. I have nothing to say," said Dominic. Dominic had an inner conflict about telling truth to his dad. He thought that it would not be good to tell the truth. So he just decided to enjoy this situation and tell him later. It could be better way for everyone. From then, Dominic was always beside his family and his friends. He also get out on the small bakery and make his own bakery. Maybe not telling the truth for everyone can make everyone happy.

Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]They all got a huge insurance payout, which meant that Dominic's dad could retire, but Dominic kept the bakery open. He kept baking and look after his dad. Nancy came over every day to eat cakes, and they all lived happily ever after.

<b>If you want to read the unhappy ending that Dennis wrote, [[continue here]]</b>
Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]Sadly, Dominic's dad, who's heart was not good, got a heart attack upon watching his bakery and his house burned into a pile of dust. He went into a coma, and the end. Or is it?
(I'll leave an open ending for you, good reader.) (Just because I want you to have an imaginitive brain LOL)
[[If you hate imagining, then I'll tell you my end of the story]].
<b>by Dennis</b>.
Go back to the beginning of [[The Worst Cowboy]]After waking up from the coma, Dominic's dad became paranoid. He started to only 'sell' and leave the 'baking' to Nancy and Dominic. Also, He stopped customers from comeing in with cell phones, with the fear it might explode. Except for that and the fact he got a bit paranoid, I suppose a happy ending is okay once in a while (Maybe that's not a happy ending, but it it is to me! (LOL))
P.S. The docters were able to fix his heart! a double happy ending!
