Welcome to Part One of The Prickly Pear Baseball Game — a whimsical, heart-filled short story by J.L. Molenaar, created from our beloved Desk Buddy for the Day series (week ending 11/22/2025).
On a sunbaked baseball diamond carved straight out of Farmer Giles’s farmland, Daisy the Cow sits comfortably beneath a sprawling oak tree—lemonade in hoof, floral sun hat tilted just right—ready to watch her son Moosie step up to the plate.
Moosie, a high-energy calf with permanently muddy knees, takes a mighty swing… and sends the championship ball soaring far beyond the fence. But when the ball lands with a troubling thwump inside a tangled patch of prickly pear cactus, the entire field falls silent.
This is a lighthearted, cinematic story short designed for:
Families watching together
Parents, aunts, uncles, and caregivers
Desk workers looking for a moment of joy
Fans of cozy, animated storytelling
Viewers who love short-form stories with cliffhangers
✨ What makes this story special:
• Family-friendly storytelling
• Whimsical animal characters
• Humor mixed with heart
• A cliffhanger ending that leads into Part Two
• Inspired by randomly selected Desk Buddies
📚 Story Format: Short-form episodic storytelling (Part 1 of 5)
🎨 Visual Style: Illustrated, animated storybook feel
🎯 Genre: Entertainment | Family Stories | Cozy Shorts
👉 Be sure to watch Part Two to find out how Moosie plans to retrieve the ball—and what trouble those prickly pears might cause next!
