They promise the farmer that if he gives them the blankets, they will give him their typewriter. The cows hold an emergency meeting (during that time, the other animals gather at the barn door to see what's going on), in which they seemingly come to a resolution. In an attempt to re-establish order, he sends a letter back to the cows and hens on his own typewriter and tells them they do not need the blankets and that their job is to produce milk and eggs. The hens join the cows and refuse to lay eggs.įarmer Brown realizes this makes it impossible to run a farm. Soon, the cows type a similar letter about the hens asking for blankets which Farmer Brown refuses to provide. Farmer Brown refuses, and the cows withhold their milk until they get what they ask for. He discovers that his cows have found an old typewriter in the barn and are using it to type letters requesting things from Farmer Brown, such as electric blankets to keep them warm at night.
