JUNE 23: Shoes and Stockings
“It seems so funny,” said Mrs. Cow. “Really, the fuss that children make about going around without any shoes or stockings.
“I don’t mean they make a fuss about going without. Gracious, no, they love not to wear shoes and stockings.
“It’s very funny, though, the way they think it is such a treat to go without.
“Now, we never wear shoes and stockings. We think that would be ridiculous.
“We would never say to our mothers, ‘Oh, mother, can’t I please go without any shoes or stockings all afternoon?’
“No young cow or calf would say such a thing. But children are always asking if they can’t go without as a great treat. How funny they really are!”
