Introducing Sylvia !

Let's Get to Know Sylvia ! 

From the first few paragraphs, we can obtain a good amount of information about Sylvia. From paragraph  1, we know that she is "A little girl" and that she is on her way home with her cow.  She describes the cow as "plodding, dilatory, provoking" however "valued", this indicates that Sylvia is a thoughtful person who
looks at the bright aspects of everything and appreciates the cow's company. Reading later lines of the same paragraph, we learn that Sylvia and her cow are "familiar with the path" and do not need to see to know there way; this suggests that Sylvia and the cow accompany each other on that path often.
