warm enough for them to take OIL

"And | felt like saying to them:
"'Poor dears. What hardship

"Yes, I think the life OF COW is
simpler.
Now when we decide It Is nice
enough to go in wadlng we just so In

So the cows wandered down to the
river stream and stood in the cool
water until they really felt quite
chilly.
Then they came out and took n rest
in the sunshine and sat about on the
grass Of their meadow.
They did not talk much. They
hadn't much to talk about. They en-
joyed the air and the soft breeze and
the sunshine.
They did not have much TO bother
them. They had to brush off flies once
in awhile. but even the flies had not
come around very much, so the day
was very happy one.
