        There once was a cow named Moo.  He was a greedy cow.  If he saw a
cow even close to "his grass", he would attack.  He was so greedy he wouldn't
give the farmer his milk.  That's where his problem was.  What good is a cow
that won't give milk.  Why buy a cow if the milk is free?  For hamburgers and
steak.  That's why.  That's what the farmer thought.  But along with greedy,
this cow was sly.  The farmer couldn't get him into the butcher house.  He
tried having cow snacks to the ax, that didn't work.  He tried chasing it
with a gun.  That didn't work.  He found some scrap metal lieng around and
built a vest.  This is one smart cow.  But as you know being greedy is will
get you in trouble.  That is how he got done in.  The farmer thought of one
final plan.  He would cut all the grass except the patch in the butchar house.
The cow quickly went to claim it all.  When he did, off went his head.

        THE END!

MORAL: Curiosity killed the cat, greed killed the cow.
