Annotation
Farmer Brown has a problem. One day while he was walking outside he heard typing sounds coming from the barn. He soon finds out that the cows have found an old typewriter in the barn, and started using it to type requests for Farmer Brown such as electric blankets to keep them warm in the barn at night. Farmer Brown refuses, so the cows refuse to share their milk. The hens begin to request things from Farmer Brown, and when they don't get it they refuse to share their eggs. This pattern continues throughout the barn with all of the animals.
