In the email you guys posted, there's a bit about milking cows--I wonder if the 'parable' they're referring to is, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free'?

Usually, though, when I think of 'parable' I think of short-stories, or the Jesus parables--there's one about a sower sowing seeds, which might fit in with the 'cover with grass' thing. The only other even remotely cow-oriented story I can think of is Jack and the Beanstalk. I am ashamed to admit this.

ok, I've got an idea but I'm too tired to look into it any more. I will leave it for you guys with younger eyes, if you think there is any use.

Isn't this a parable:

I agree chramey. However, I don't understand tab but I will try to explain the solve the best I can. Like you said they did put it there for a reason. Since I don't understand it, I probably will not be the best to explain it but another player, I think ThunderWolf, who understands them said it was the song Daisy Bell leading us to Daisy.html

I am clueless when it comes to html and allo that stuff. Could someone explain to me why the source for the Daisy image has this in it:

Let me try that again, the first time it disappeared...

Woh, it did it again. Ok, took out all the dots and slashes.

DOCTYPE html PUBLIC W3C DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional EN http www w3 org TR xhtml1 DTD xhtml1 -transitional.dtd
html xmlns http www w3 org 1999 xhtml

Ok, that's better. What does the World Wide Web consortium have to do with this?

Okay, so I, also, woke up this morning thinking that something is hidden in the tabs.

Yesterday I just sort of dismissed it as guitar tabs, probably for Daisy. But it doesn't actually make much sense as guitar tabs.

Just to be safe, I tried playing the tune, as written, on my guitar, and it didn't really make sense and was certainly not "Daisy." Someone else help me out if I'm wrong here, because I'm like Little Miss Beginner on the guitar.

I've looked up Ukulele tabs online, and that looks slightly more likely. I'm going to see if I can work out what the chords would be.
