All the animals gathered around the barn to
snoop, but none of them could understand
Moo. All night long, Farmer Brown waited
for an answer.
Duck knocked on the door early the next
morning. He handed Farmer Brown a note:
“Dear Farmer Brown,
We will exchange our typewriter for
electric blankets.
Leave them outside the barn door
and we will send Duck over with the
typewriter.
Sincerely,
The Cows.”
