Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not attempt
the next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may
even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something
more appropriate such as Children's World. If you said "water"
then proceed to question 3. !</span></font></b> </p>
