To get to Krishna.com’s offices, I have to drive down a dirt road (featuring signs that say: “maximum speed limit: 15 mph—We Love Our Children”) that borders cow pastures.
I’m glad I live in a place where there aren’t signs declaring, “Drive As Fast As You Can—These Kids Shoot To Kill.”
Anyway, in one field lives a picture-perfect ox—tall, sturdy, dark brown with long, pointy horns. I love to watch him eat—for reasons mysterious to me, he always, always, always has a bunch of hay on his back which stays there for as long as he chews. Always.
Dear ox experts: Does this enhance the pleasure derived from eating hay? Is this similar to children gleefully, cluelessly wearing their lunch? Is there a scientific reason? I’ve never seen another cow, bull, or ox do this.
Your feedback is appreciated.
I’m no ox expert, but Sundari loves to have her strawberry applesauce in her hair while she’s eating.
