Description
Clemmon Hardigree's potatoes are the size of boulders. Also, they MOO! How they got that way makes for a funny tall tale about mountain luck, mountain farming, mountain cows (who have short legs in the front and long ones in the back so they can stand level on a hillside), the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, and Tennessee's stingiest timber baron.
Read this one aloud, hold up the funny pictures, and just TRY to keep a straight face!

   Clemmon returned home late that night and crawled into bed. The next morning when he saw the skinny cow in his front yard, he realized what had happened. He scrounged up some feed for the cow, then headed up to harvest the rest of his herd. Clemmon dug the potatoes and split them, freeing the cows.
