COWS

THE ONLY COW IN A SMALL IOWA TOWN

STOPPED GIVING MILK.

THE PEOPLE DID SOME RESEARCH AND

FOUND THAT THEY COULD BUY A COW

JUST ACROSS THE STATE LINE IN

WISCONSIN FOR $200.

THEY BOUGHT THE COW FROM WISCONSIN

AND THE COW WAS WONDERFUL.

IT PRODUCED LOTS OF MILK ALL OF THE TIME

AND THE PEOPLE WERE PLEASED AND VERY HAPPY.

THEY DECIDED TO ACQUIRE A BULL

TO MATE WITH THE COW TO PRODUCE

MORE COWS LIKE IT.

THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY

ABOUT THEIR MILK SUPPLY AGAIN.

THEY BOUGHT THE BULL AND PUT IT IN

THE PASTURE WITH THEIR BELOVED COW.

HOWEVER, WHENEVER THE BULL

CAME CLOSE TO THE COW,

THE COW WOULD MOVE AWAY.

NO MATTER WHAT APPROACH THE BULL TRIED,

THE COW WOULD MOVE AWAY FROM THE BULL

AND HE COULD NOT SUCCEED IN HIS QUEST.

THE PEOPLE WERE VERY UPSET AND

DECIDED TO ASK THE VET,

WHO WAS VERY WISE, WHAT TO DO.

THEY TOLD THE VET WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

"WHENEVER THE BULL APPROACHES OUR COW,

SHE MOVES AWAY.

IF HE APPROACHES FROM THE BACK,

SHE MOVES FORWARD.

WHEN HE APPROACHES HER FROM THE FRONT,

SHE BACKS OFF.

AN APPROACH FROM THE SIDE,

SHE WALKS AWAY TO THE OTHER SIDE."

THE VET THOUGHT ABOUT THIS

FOR A MINUTE AND ASKED,

"DID YOU BY CHANCE,

BUY THIS COW IN WISCONSIN?"

THE PEOPLE WERE DUMBFOUNDED,

SINCE NO ONE HAD EVER MENTIONED

WHERE THEY BOUGHT THE COW.

"YOU ARE TRULY A WISE VET,"

THEY SAID.

"HOW DID YOU KNOW WE GOT

THE COW IN WISCONSIN?"

THE VET REPLIED WITH A

DISTANT LOOK IN HIS EYE,

"MY WIFE IS FROM WISCONSIN."
