Here is a composition on "The
Cow" written by a little girl, only
nine years old: A cow is an animal
with four legs on the under side.
The tail is longer than the legs, but
it is not used to stand on. The cow
kills flies with her tail. A cow has
big ears that wiggles on hinges; so
does her tail. The cow is bigger
than the calf, but not so big as an
elephant. She is made so small
that she can go in the barn when
nobody is looking. Some cows are
black and some hook. A dog was
hooked once. She tossed the dog
that worried the cat that killed the
rat. Black cows give white milk;
so do other cows. Milkmen sell
milk to buy their little girls dresses,
which they put water in and chalk.
Cbws chew cuds and each .finds its
own chew. That is all there is about
cows.
That wear well,
look well, and are
comfortable.
