You remember in the last story when
I left off I was very much afraid the
wonderful COW would tip of the little
milking stool and break one of her ivory
horns. But she didn't, although she dld
something else all of q sudden, let me
tell you.
You see. she no sooner swallowed the
blade of grass that Puss gave her than
she began to look very queer. Her horns
turned into long ears and her body be-
came smaller and before long she turned
into n little donkey. And when the man
who had bought her came out to the
barn, for he had seen Puss and the
farmer enter the barn, he became dread
fully angry.
What have you done to my cow?"
lie demanded in an angry voice. Il
didn't do anything" said the farmer
which was perfectly true. And the man
iidn't ask Puss, because he never thought
e cat could change a COW into donkey
md neither would I and neither would
lou.
why are you here?" asked the man,
ana the farmer replied. Il wanted to buy
ack my COW from you, but l don't want
a donkey" and he turned to go.
Neither do l." said the man. Il think
the animal is oewitched. I'll have moth
ng to do with such a creature
Il need a steed to ride upon" said
little Puss Junior, speaking for the first
time; TN buy the donkey"
Well, you can have this ow-d0nkey
COR half what / paid for her" said the
nan in 4 Disguised voice. ''I'H not keep
UGH an animal in my barn"
SO Puss took out his purse and paid
his money, and then he jumped on the
lonkey's back and he and the farmer
went away. And after they had gone
for maybe a mile the farmer said: Now,
LANCE the donkey into a cow"
II will not. replied Puss. And then
you should have seen how angry that
farmer got Why, he was twice as
