It's called "The Faithful Bull" and the cite says
1951, Charles Scribner's Sons, _The Complete Short
Stories of E.H._

Seriously, they should also have had _The
Not-So-Complete But More Highly Regarded Short Stories
of E.H._

I wish I had the book with me now, but there's
seriously a line in there like "The bull was very
proud and happy. This is a lie. The bull did not know
what he thought because he could not think." What the
heck's that?

P.S. Anyone have anything to say about that Skipped
Diploma JDS comment on E.H.?
