While we were looking we noticed a COW
go up to an apple tree and wedge in the
stem between her horns and neck and de-
liberately shake the tree bringing down a
shower of apples. This done, the clever
COW and her companions ate the fruit
and then she went to another tree ana
shook THAT, and SO on. The same COW did
all the shaking, and the funny thing was
that she never attempted to shake an old
stiff tree, but always selected young one
that would shake easily.
