Every year the Pigs and Chickens reluctantly asked "what do you have in mind this year?"   And every year the Cow says  "Bacon & Eggs of course! It's his favorite meal!" Well this year... the Pigs and Chickens say to the Cow "Let's do Dinner for him this year"   Excitedly the Cow says Ok...what do you have in mind?   " A Steak Dinner!" says one of the Pigs.  "He can have a Rib Eye, Porter House, Filet Mignon or even Prime Rib!"  One of the Chickens says  "He likes Milkshakes too, so we can make him a chocolate Milkshake for dessert!"  Hearing this the Cow's countenance changed.
