A Dairy Tale

The cow is a mammal and it is tame. It has six sides; right, left, fore, back, an upper and a below. At the back it has a tail on which hangs a brush. With this it sends flies away, so that they will not fall into the milk.

The head is for the purpose of growing horns, and so that the mouth can be somewhere. The horns are to butt with. The mouth is to moo with. Under the cow hangs the milk. It is arranged for milking. When people milk, the milk comes, and there is never an end to the supply. How the cow does it I have not yet realized, but it makes more everytime we take away some.

The cow has a fine sense of smell. One can smell it far away. This is the reason for the fresh air of the country.

The man cow is called an ox, and it is not a mammal. The cow does not eat much but what it eats, it eats twice so that it gets enough. When it is hungry it moos, and when it says nothing, it is because all its inside is full up of grass.
