La Biche

Blackie is feeling unwell. Blackie always feels unwell. She would like to have been born a deer, because whoever heard of a cow in a fairy tale? Her milk tastes funny: a taste of cow. Ambling by the music school one day, she overhears that a white note has the value of two black notes. Is she only half a cow? So the doctor tries to reassure her. Cows, unlike deer, never fall victim to hunters. Her milk would taste better if she ate more greens. In music, a white note lasts twice as long as a black note, but that has nothing to do with her own longevity...
