The Cow

[Emery]

The only cow in a small town in Arkansas stopped giving milk.

The people did some research and found they could buy a cow up
in Antigo, Wisconsin, for $200.00.

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 and produce
more cows like it.

They would never have to worry about their milk supply again.

They bought a 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 and she walks away to the other side.

The Vet thinks about this for a minute and asked,

"Did you buy this cow in Wisconsin?"

The people were dumbfounded, since they had never 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."
