Mnemonic

In the background we can see a cow's head, and in the foreground we can see an old bird taunting the cow. "You stupid cow! Come and get me!" says the bird. Fortunately it's separated from the cow by a fence singified by the one wooden plank between them, so the cow can't really do anything to the bird. The moment you see this peculiar situation you immediately stop and observe.
