The Dilly News

This is beyond belief. Last night it got so cold in Minnesota that a
cow standing out in the field shatterred and fell to pieces. Farmer
John Tilden was shocked when he got out to his pasture about 6am. and
found one of his cows lying on the ground in several hundred pieces.
The cow, an approximately five year old Holstein was completely
shattered. All that remained was irregularly shaped pieces of black
and white fur that somehow used to fit together and be a cow. A
vererinarian was immediately called, who stated the cow got so cold
that it just fractured from the inside out, and finally shatterred,
most likely due to a sudden movement, and probably after getting
scared from something. The veterinarian said the cow could not be
saved, because there were just too many pieces to the puzzle, but he
did manage to find the udder and it was filled with some very tastey
ice cream, which was saved for Christmas dinner.

However, Tilden decided that since it's so cold outdoors, and since he
is bored being in the house, he collected all the pieces and is
planning to see if he can put the cow back together, with the help of
his brother who has always been good at puzzles. After sending an
urgent letter to Santa Claus asking for help with the puzzle, Tilden
put out a plea for anyone willing to assist with the puzzle to please
contact him immediately, and promises to share the ice cream with
them.


Merry Christmas
