DAISY’S TANGLED TAIL
From Australia conies this delightful story of plain horse-sense. Dick, a shaggy old horse, shared a paddock near the little town of Homebush with Daisy, a cow. Piled hign near a fence was a heap of rusted hoop-iron, and one day Daisy’s tail became caught in the tangled mass. The more she pulled the faster hef tail became gripped. Poor Daisy became frantic as she swayed from side to side in an effort to get free, so frantic, in fact, that men -ho wished to help her could not get near her. Then Dick appeared on the scene. He too was willing to lend a hand. or. rather, a hoof. Cautiously he approached step ov step, whinnying quietly as he came close to his friend. Gently but firmly Dick edged Daisy into a corner, placci a hoof on the hoop-iron to hold it to the ground, and thus enabled Daisy to release her tail slowly, perhaps painfully, but none the less with certainty.
