Sillie Sallie says, "COFFEE GROUNDS!"

Quietly entering the Sheep's Pen, we find Sillie Sallie in a much better mood today. She even has a new pink ribbon on her ear, and you can hardly see yesterday's dill pickle stains at all.

Sallie smiles sweetly and says, "Hello! Today's topic is COFFEE GROUNDS." Sallie takes a moment to thumb through her sketchbook. "Ah, yes, coffee grounds. Coffee grounds are formed when humans grind coffee beans and pour hot water through them. It is important that they do this because the resulting brown liquid, when combined with sugar and cream, forms a powerful medicine that humans use to keep their eyelids from falling shut during the day."

Sallie pauses a moment, nodding wisely. "Once humans have extracted the medicine, the coffee grounds are combined with broken eggshells and cast onto the compost heap. Once there, they become very, very dangerous." Sallie's look becomes stern. "Never nibble them. They taste nasty, and the eggshells can scratch your lip. If you step in them while they are wet, they glue themselves to your hooves and REFUSE to come off! It makes it impossible to polish your hooves! So, my advice is, avoid coffee grounds at all cost."

Satisfied that se has been informative, Sillie Sallie sashays off, leaving you to ponder her words until tomorrow.
