♕ |[ 96 ]| Something inspires the only cow of late to make no more of a wall than an open gate

[ VIDEO | Backdated to this afternoon ]

[The image is a bit dark and a little wobbly, but the focus is pretty obvious: an enormous bull, standing in the middle of a very narrow space lined with books. From offscreen, Neil narrates:]

I think he wandered in about an hour ago-- I heard the bell on the door and looked up and there he was.

[The bull turns his head towards the camera slowly, snorts, and goes back to nosing idly at the shelf.]

I'm calling him Ferdinand, maybe it'll be a good influence. But unless he gets tired and leaves, I'm not really sure what to do... I'd close up early but I don't want to leave him trapped here.

[Briefly, Neil turns the camera on himself, looking a bit perplexed.]

Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe we could... lure him out?

I saw a cowboy herding some cattle earlier. Maybe you could get his help?

Does luring out of a bookshop count as herding, do you think? I wonder if he takes requests...

[universaltranslator]

It's worth a shot, at least. You're not really going to be able to get him out on your own.

I was hoping he'd just get bored, honestly.

Don't they stand around and chew cud all day?

Cows do. I always thought bulls were a little more lively, though?

[universaltranslator]

I don't know. I've never spent much time around any animals.

I haven't either, really. My old roommate had a cow but obviously we didn't keep it in the apartment.
