Farmer's working on his pick up and see this fella coming down the road, cross over and gets right up next to his fence. The fella starts moo'in and all the farmers cows walk over to where the fella is at the fence. Well the farmer goes over and starts to run the fella off. The fella introduces himself as John Doolittle, and tells the farmer he was just talking to his cows a bit. The farmer thinks this John Doolittle's Plum crazy, but when he tells the farmer that Betsy one of his milking cows has been complaining about her sore teats, the farmer can hardly believe it. That very morning he had had all sorts of problems milking Betsy. John asked the farmer if he could maybe talk to the chickens. The farmer thought what can it hurt, and wanted to see if this guy named Doolittle could really talk to animals, so he told him to go on ahead. Well John got to clucking back and forth with all them chickens, and darned if he didn't know which ones were laying good and which ones had been a little off. Then John see some goats over by the barn, and asks the farmer if he could maybe talk to the goats. The farmer took a look at the goats and looked back at John, and said, you can go ahead and talk to those goats, but I gotta tell you before you do, them goats lie like crazy.
