The Herd of Cows

                There was a herd of cows.  Each had its own grassy plot of ground and a place in the barn.  There was, however, one cow, “Elsie”, who was somewhat richer than the other cows.  She had a bigger parcel of land with better, tastier grass and her own stall in the barn that was freshly painted.  The other cows were jealous so they asked Elsie, “How come you’re so much wealthier than we are?”

                She was quick to answer.  “You sell only your milk. I sell them something else!”

                “What else?” they asked.

                “It is rather disgusting so I have to whisper it into your ear.” 

                When she did whisper it the response was as expected.  They all said, “You mean the humans pay you for THAT?
                “Yes theyjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj do,” she said with a chuckle.  And then they all began to laugh.  But do you know who makes a great deal of more money form this than I do?  It’s the Easter Bunny.  He has major contracts with Hershey’s and Nestles.”
