The Cow and the Turkey
The cow was notoriously cheap, so it surprised everyone when she voted yes for the secret Santa scheme. It was the horse’s suggestion, and she backed it immediately, saying, “I choose the turkey.”
The pig, who considered himself an authority on all things gifty, cleared his throat. “That’s not actually the way it works,” he said. “It’s secret, see, so we each draw a name and keep it to ourselves until Christmas morning.”
“Why do you always have to be like that?” the cow asked, and the duck sighed, “Here we go.”
“First you ask me to give someone a Christmas present,” the cow continued, “and then you tell me it has to be done your way. Like, ‘Oh, I have four legs so I’m better than everyone else.’ ”
“Don’t you have four legs?” the pig asked.
The cow loosed something between a moan and a sigh. “All right, just because you have a curly tail,” she said.
The pig tried looking behind him, but all he could see were his sides. “Is it curly curly?” he asked the rooster. “Or curly kinky?”
“The point is that I’m tired of being pushed around,” the cow said. “I think a lot of us are.”
This was her all over, so rather than spending the next week listening to her complain, it was decided that the cow would give to the turkey and that everyone else would keep their names a secret.
