other traits that are entirely human. She is so dis- 

 contented with her lot that she bawls whiningly even 

 when she has her mouth full, and in that way contra-

 If I can only manage to sell the Jimmy-cow to some 

 back-to-the-lander next spring he will learn much by 

 studying her exasperating little ways.
