ERNALDAN: Your husband thinks he has forty cows. Silly boy.
ESROLIAN GRANDMOTHER. You have forty cows. Your husband milks them.
LUNAR COMMANDER IN SARTAR. You have two cows. You collect taxes. You have forty cows. Ten go to the area commander. Ten go to the Seven Mothers Temple. Five go to your troops. Five go in bribes to informers. You have ten cows. A visiting Darra Happan general likes the look of 'that one, that one, and that one'. Rebels steal three. Two are sacrificed on the altar of Sedenya to ensure unit morale. You have two cows. Both desert.
