given especially for US"
Indeed" laid another COW known

Yes, lots of farmers got together
! who owned fine cows and that is why
+ some OF Us were sol6 and exchanged
/ You see we have come TO a new home.
/ Our master sold Us. but we were sold
together"
That's good" said Miss Hatty II

l am not such an affectionate creature.
I'd rather give you sp than chewing
my cud any day"
$50 would l." said Miss Hannah.

had at the picnic?" asked Miss Hatty-
Yes. did, just gallons and gallons
of IT," said Miss Hannah
Good of US TO help make It." said
Miss Hatty.
Il didn't help make it." said Miss
Hann;sh.
''oh yes, you did. you often help TO
make ice cream"
mo. don't" said Miss Hannah. II
have never made ice cream. 1 could
not turn the handle or pack in the
ice or anything like that" said Miss
Hannah. I've seen the farmers boy
doing 1t, turning around the freezer rs
he sat on the back steps
And l have never, never helped him
don't see how you think l could. You
haven't much sense, Miss Hatty. Gould

Miss Hatty was grinning. a silly
cows grin.

that you helped freeze the ice cream.

You give milk and cream?"
Yes" said Miss Hannah.
well, then. use your thinking cap
81 haven't one" said Miss Hannah
'In fact l haven't cap at all I've
never seen the need of it, and no one
has ever given It to me. Sometimes
I've thought I'd like a bonnet with
long, long feathers could move about
and keep the flies away
oh" said Miss Hatty. q am 4
stupid COW but you are more stupid
YOU are very. very stupid"
II suppose 1 am" said Miss Hannah.
who didn't seem to mind in the least
being thought stupid.
what 1 meant was" said Miss Hat
ty. that you should have stopped to
think, not really to put on a cap or
hat. just TO think"
"Oh, see,n said Miss Hannah. her
big eyes looking rather sleepIly at Miss
Hstty.
well. you admit now you have
helped with Ice cream. don't your"
Eyes admit IT." said Miss Hannah
"Oh. there were so many automo-
biles there today, so many rich farm
ers. so many, many excitements. And
the children ran races and some OF
them won prizes. 1 tell you that was
an honorable sort of a picnic for q
cow to be at" said Miss Hatty.
''I didn't know there were honorable
SOI u VI piCIilCSs Sdlu MISS I1dunHn-
'Well.' said Miss Hatty. ct mean It
was a sort OF q picnic which was so
fne that 1t was a great honor for any
cow to be there"
Eyes. yes. but then we're superior
cows I've always heard" said Miss
Hannah. mot that 1t makes any diff
ference TO me-"
'Tt doesn't make much difference to
me-" said Miss Hatty, though / sup
pose 1t is nice. We see so much OF the
world. We go TO county fairs and
"Oh yes" said Miss Hannah, ''but
they are all the same. People look at
Us. we look at people. but the only
things that are really fun are sleeping,
eating, grazing, chewing our cud, and
the flies away with our
.ails"
True" said Miss Hatty, "cows
aren't particular creatures about hav-
ng excitements."
