Cows: cud, milk, burps and the red cape myth, sentence 3
Cows are also more social and clever than people think: they have best friends, learn routines and their names, and the bull charging the red cape is chasing the movement, not the colour.
Who acts: Cows, people, bull · What happens: be, think, have, learn, charge, chase · To what, where: best friends, routines, red cape, movement · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Cows: cud, milk, burps and the red cape myth» of the biology course of Mova's primary school.
