单项选择题
It was a really tiring day. I was about to sleep when someone gave me a call. On the other side, a strange farmer was speaking. The man was always the focus of people’s conversation. However, I had never known him before. His voice sounded very nervous and he had been talking for several minutes before I began to understand something. Even then what I could figure out was that someone called Jane had suffered from a very severe accident.
It was snowing heavily and I couldn’t figure out the direction. I was driving for about an hour. Then I found his house at last. He was just standing there, waiting for my arrival. It seemed to me that Jane had passed away. "To me, she meant a lot even more than my own wife!" he said with tears. From his face, I could see he was rather sad. At that time I thought something terrible had happened, a possible scandal maybe. When he told me that he had placed her in the barn (厩) , I was quite shocked. "I couldn’t leave her in such terrible weather!" he said.
Apparently Jane had been his secret lover. I was on the point of telling him he could not ask me to cover anything up when he pushed the barn door, He lit his candle and then I saw a dark and big figure. "She was such a good cow that I won’t allow anyone except a doctor to touch her!" he said, and burst out crying again.
