One time while on a family vacation driving through the mountains we passed several steep cow pastures. The cows all appeared to stand sideways on the steep hills and my brother wanted to know why they didn't face down or uphill. My Dad said it was because they could only face the way that they were born to face because they had shorter legs on one side of their bodies and the cows had to walk all the way around the hill to go up or down because they'd fall if they tried to go straight up or down. All the way through the mountains every trip we'd be on the look-out for falling cows!
