That's entertainment!

So you know, there was a lot of that white stuff falling out of the sky and there was already a lot of the stuff on the ground, so that it was up to our knees.  The lady brought us our nice hay and put it in our boxes and then she drove that little green truck thing back to Bob and his mares and gave them hay too.  So then here she came back up the hill in the little green truck thing, right outside our fence where she always drives it.  But halfway up the hill, the green truck thing started going sideways and then it slid around and then it rolled right back down the hill backwards.  So then it did it again, but it was sliding all different ways and skidding in the white stuff and just about spinning around.  That was pretty interesting -- dinner AND a show!  So we watched it while we ate our hay, but the lady just left the green thing at the bottom of the hill and walked back up the hill.  It was down there by the pond  all night and it turned all white.  Then the next morning, she walked back down the hill and started it up and did that skidding, sliding stuff some more.  But she didn't give us our hay, so it was not as much fun.  Then she walked back up the hill and got a red can that smelled funny and poured stuff into the side of the truck thing.  There really is no point in having a show if you don't have anything to eat while you watch, so we tried to show the  lady the error of her planning and we all went over and started biting the fence.  Just so she would understand that we needed hay to appreciate her maneuvers.  The lady looked at us kind of like that coyote used to look at the stupid geese when he was stalking them.  So anyway, she walked back up the hill and got one of the orange machines and carried our hay bales in the front of it and gave us some hay right in front of our shed.  No boxes!  It was grand, so obviously we were very smart to bite the fence that way.  When we got back over to the boxes, there was a big path as wide as a pony is long running the whole length of our pasture down to the pond.  And the green truck thing was back at the top of the hill and there was hay in our boxes.  What a day!
