AIN’T IT THE TRUTH ?
A ten year old London East End boy who had. been evacuated to the country recently, wrote an essay t in which he ' described a cow as follows: The cow is a mamaL It has six sides: front, back right and left and upper "and-below.. At the back it has a tail on which hangs a brush. With this he sends flies away so they don’t fall in .the milk. The head is for the- purpose of growing horns and so his mouth can be somewhere. The horms are. to butt with and the mouth to moo with. ’’Under the cow-hangs milk. It is arranged for milking. When people milk milk .comes and there never is : an end to the supply. How the cow does it I have 'not yet realised, but it makes more and more. The cow has a fine sense of smell- and one can smell it far away. This is the reason fur fresh air in-the country. "A man cow is celled an ox. The cow does not cat much but what it eats it eatq.twice so that it gets enough. When it is hungry it moos, and whan it says nothing at all it is because its insides are full up with grass.” 000000
