"I reckon I look cross. Cows have done it.
Do you like cows ?" "I hate cows--I've got a thousand cows and I see as little of them as possible," said he. "It is such a pleasure to hate cows!" Bim exclaimed.
"There's nothing I enjoy so much." "Why ?" Ann asked. "I am not sure, but I think it is because they give milk--such quantities of milk! Sometimes I lie awake at night hating cows.
