A farmer had a cow. He took very good care of this cow
and one day when it was ill, he was very worried. He telephoned the vet. “What’s the problem?” The vet asked him when he
arrived.
“My cow's
ill,” the farmer said. “I don’t know what's the matter with her. She’s lying
down and won’t eat. She's making a strange noise.”
The vet looked
over the cow. "She's certainly ill," he said, "and she needs to
take some very strong medicine."
He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills
into his hand and said, "Give her these. The pills should make her
better."
“How should
I give them to her?” the farmer asked.
The vet gave
him a tube (管子)and said, "Put this tube in her
mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That'll make it."
The next day
the vet came to the farm again. The farmer was sitting outside his house and
looked more worried.
“How's your
cow?” the vet asked.
“No change,”
the farmer said, “and I’m feeling very strange myself.”
“Oh?” the
vet said, "Why?"
“I did what
you said,” the farmer answered. “I put the tube in the cow's mouth and then put
two pills down it.”
“And?” the
vet asked.
“The cow
blew first,” the farmer said.
