Farmer Brown has a problem.
His cow likes typing.
All day, he can hear:
Click, click, moo!
Click, click, moo!
Click, click, moo!
At first, he didn't believe his ears.
Cows can type?
Click, click, moo!
Click, click, moo!
Click, click, moo!
Then he didn't believe his eyes, because one day, a note was nailed to his door. It says:
Dear Farmer Brown,
The barn is cold at night,
We want some electric blankets.
Salute,
Your cow
These cows, it is not enough for them to dig out an old typewriter in the cowshed, but also want electric blankets!
"impossible!" Brown shouted, "My barn doesn't provide electric blankets."
As a result, the cows went on strike collectively. They left a note at the gate of the barn, which read:
Sorry, there is no milk today.
"There is no milk today!" Exclaimed Brown. At the same time, he heard cows typing in the backyard.
Click, click, moo!
Click, click, moo!
Click, click, moo!
The next day, he received another note:
Dear farmer: The hens in the barn are cold, too. They also want electric blankets.
Salute,
Your cow
The cows waited and waited, and finally, they lost patience with the farmer. They left one in front of the barn. New note:
"No eggs to eat!" Exclaimed Brown. At the same time, he heard cows typing in the backyard.
Click, click, moo!
Click, click, moo!
Click, click, moo! ban
"Cows are typing and hens are on strike! Who has heard of such a thing! There is no milk and eggs on my farm. What can I do? " Brown flew into a rage.
The farmer took out his typewriter and wrote a letter to the cows.
Dear cows and hens:
I won't give you an electric blanket. You are a cow and a hen. You should give me milk and eggs.
Salute,
Farmer brown
Duck, as a centrist, took this ultimatum to see the cow.
The cows held an emergency meeting. All the animals on the farm poked around the barn, but no one could understand Cleisthenes's cry.
Brown waited anxiously for the cow's answer all night.
The next morning, the duck knocked on the farmer's door and handed Brown a note.
Dear farmers:
We can exchange old typewriters for electric blankets.
Please put the electric blanket outside the barn door, and we'll let the ducks take the typewriter away.
Salute,
Your cow
Brown thinks it's a good idea, at least I won't have to hear cows typing in the future. He immediately left an electric blanket outside the barn door and waited for the duck to pick up the typewriter.
The next morning, he received a note written by a duck:
Dear farmers:
Living in a pond is really boring. Please give us a springboard!
Salute,
Your duck
