Narrator 1:    CLICK, CLACK, MOO Cows That Type   By Doreen Cronin

Narrator 2:    Farmer Brown has a problem.  His cows like to type.  All day long he hears
 
Narrator 3:    Click, clack, moo. Click, clack, moo. Clickety, clack, moo.
 
Narrator 4:    At first he couldn't believe his ears. Cows that type?  Impossible!
 
Narrator 5:    Click, clack, moo. Click, clack, moo. Clickety, clack, moo.
 
Narrator 1:    Then, he couldn't believe his eyes. 
 
Cows:          Dear Farmer Brown,
               The barn is very cold at night.  
               We'd like some electric blankets. 
               Sincerely, 
               The Cows 

Narrator 2:    It was bad enough the cows had found the old typewriter in the barn, now they 
               wanted electric blankets! 
 
Farmer Brown: "No way! No electric blankets." 
 
Narrator 3:    said Farmer Brown. So the cows went on strike.  They left a note on the barn door.
 
Cows:          Sorry.  We're closed. No milk today. 
 
Farmer Brown: "No milk today!"
 
Narrator 4:    cried Farmer Brown.  In the background, he heard the cows busy at work.
 
Narrator 5:    Click, clack, moo. Click, clack, moo. Clickety, clack, moo.
 
Narrator 1:    The next day, he got another note: 
 
Cows:          Dear Farmer Brown,
               The hens are cold too.
               They'd like electric blankets. 
               Sincerely,
               The Cows
 
Narrator 2:    The cows were growing impatient with the farmer. They left a new note on the
               barn door.
 
Narrator 3:    Closed.  No milk.  No eggs. 
 
Farmer Brown: "No eggs!"
 
Narrator 4:    cried Farmer Brown.  In the background he heard them.
 
Narrator 5:    Click, clack, moo. Click, clack, moo. Clickety, clack, moo.
 
Farmer Brown: "Cows that type. Hens on strike!  Whoever heard of such a thing? How can I run a 
               farm with no milk and no eggs!"
 
Narrator 1:    Farmer Brown was furious.  Farmer Brown got out his own typewriter.
 
Farmer Brown:  Dear Cows and Hens: 
               There will be no electric blankets. 
               You are cows and hens.
               I demand milk and eggs. 
               Sincerely,
               Farmer Brown
 
Narrator 2:    Duck was a neutral party, so he brought the ultimatum to the cows.
 
Narrator 3:    The cows held an emergency meeting.  All the animals gathered around the barn 
               to snoop, but none of them could understand Moo.
 
Narrator 4:    All night long, Farmer Brown waited for an answer. 
 
Narrator 5:    Duck knocked on the door early the next morning. He handed Farmer Brown a note:
 
Cows:          Dear Farmer Brown,
               We will exchange our typewriter for electric blankets. Leave them outside the barn
               door and we will send Duck over with the typewriter.
               Sincerely,
               The Cows
 
Narrator 1:    Farmer Brown decided this was a good deal. 
 
Narrator 2:    He left the blankets next to the barn door and waited for Duck to come with the 
               typewriter.
 
Narrator 3:    The next morning he got a note: 
 
Narrator 4:    Dear Farmer Brown,
               The pond is quite boring. We'd like a diving board. 
               Sincerely,
               The Ducks
 
Narrator 5:    Click, clack, quack, Click, clack, quack.  Clickety, clack, quack.
