"It will here in the woods and the country," answered the old man, "but it wouldn't in the city. However, my crumpled-horn cow's milk is only six cents a quart." "Has your cow really got a crumpled horn?" asked Sue eagerly, for she loved queer things. "Yes, she has a crumpled horn, but she isn't the one that jumped over the moon," said the old man with a smile.
"Oh, I was standing on it, trying to see if I could jump over the moon," was the answer. "Jump over the moon!" cried the rabbit gentleman. "You surprise me! Why in the world " "It's this way, you see," spoke the crumpled-horn lady cow.
Then, with his rheumatism crutch, the rabbit gentleman pushed loose the cow's hoof from where it was caught in the stump, and she was all right again. "Oh, thank you so much, Uncle Wiggily," spoke the crumpled-horn cow. "If ever I can do you a favor I will." "Thank you," said the rabbit gentleman, politely. "I'm sure you will. But how did you happen to get your hoof caught in that stump?"
"What is the matter, and who are you?" "Why, I am the Mother Goose cow with the crumpled horn," was the answer, "and my foot is caught so tightly in the hole of this stump that I cannot get it out." "Why, I'll help you, Mrs. Crumpled-horn Cow," said Uncle Wiggily, kindly.
"Oh, a cow tried to take up quarters with us," explained Mr. Brown. "I'm trying to shove her out of the tent, but she seems to want to stay." "I'll lead her away and tie her," said Uncle Tad. Bunny and Sue heard him tramping up from his tent to theirs and then he led the crumpled-horn cow away, the animal now and then giving voice to: "Moo! Moo!"
The old man walked on ahead, the children, hand in hand, following, and the bushes clinked against the empty tin pail that Bunny carried. "Here you are," said the old man, as he turned on the path, and before them Bunny and his sister saw a log cabin. Near it was a shed, and as the children stopped and looked, from the shed came a long, low "Moo!" "Oh, is that the crumpled-horn cow?" asked Sue.
"Yes, it's only a cow a crumpled-horn cow," Bunny announced after he had taken a look. "But it pushed hard enough to be an elephant, didn't it?" asked Sue. "That's what it did. I thought the tent would come down," agreed Bunny. "What makes you say it was a crumpled-horn cow?" asked Mrs. Brown, as she too looked through the crack of the curtain and saw her husband pushing the animal outside.
She put her crooked, crumpled horn, which was just like a corkscrew, in the cork, and, with one twist, out it came from the bottle as easily as anything. Then Nurse Jane could rub some medicine on Uncle Wiggily's rheumatism, which soon felt much better. So you see Mother Goose's crumpled-horn cow can do other things besides tossing cat-worrying dogs.
