Ah! A true Scherlock! Farmer Brown will NEVER become a cattle baron as long as he only purchases cows. He needs a lesson in basic Biology, to wise up, and buy a BULL!

What did Farmer Brown think he would manage to grow by crossing a plum tree with a rubber tree?

Deer are not cattle, nor are pigs, in the true sense, but they are hoofed mammals. Cattle are Bovine. Pigs are Swine. Deer are Cervine. (Divide the hoof, and chew the cud. Remember?) ;)

Pigs are also Porcine :p.

Giving out a puzzle of our own:

Legend speaks that Furtševa, cultural minister of Soviet Union, once went to the UNESCO building, but, alas, had forgotten her documents home. You needed documents to prove who you are, so that you could enter.
The person whose job was to sit near the door comforted her. He said: "You know, once Picasso also forgot his documents, when he came here. But then he drew a doveof peace and there was no doubt about who he was and so he was let in. Perhaps you can do something similar?"
Then Furtševa asked something back from the doorkeeper and she was let in.
What did she ask?

Ah, there's the word I was looking for! Thank you! I was getting mixed up, since the pigs are Suidae, and I was thinking the name had something to do with that, as most do. Glad you got my back, Robin! :nod:

"If he had no paper, how did he draw?"

Nope.
This story is anecdotal. It is hard to believe that this is possible.

Have you noticed how weird the Brown farm is? Why did Farmer Brown paint a yellow line down the center of all the coops in his hen house?
