Summary: A group of cows on a farm get a hold of Farmer Brown's typewriter, and begin to leave the farmer notes about how the barn is too cold, and they would like some electric blankets. The Farmer says no, so the cows decide not to produce any milk. The hens decide that the want electric blankets, so they decide not to produce any eggs. The Farmer then got out another typewriter and wrote the animals a note, saying he would not stand for any of this, and gave it to the duck to deliver.The cows decided to compromise, giving Farmer Brown the typewriter back in exchange for the blankets. This teaches children that issues can be solved with simple compromise, and provides humor to them, as well.
