The Funny-Looking Man

The Funny-Looking Man

The next morning Jack got Milky White. Slowly he began walking her toward the market. When he was close to town, a voice rang out. " Good morning, Jack! "

Jack looked around. A funny-looking man was waving at him. His blue eyes twinkled like stars. " How does he know my name?" Jack thought.

The strange man came closer. He danced around the cow. " Milky White is a very fine cow, " the man said. " Where are you taking her?"

" I am taking her to the market, " Jack said. " She is a fine cow, but I must sell her. "

" What?" The man's face lit up. " You're selling her?" he asked. Jack nodded.
