POUCH COVE, N.L.—It is the stuff of children’s books: A small herd of hungry cows delighted Newfoundland school kids this week, escaping their pen to munch on a nearby school’s green grass. Kelly Pinsent, principal of Cape St. Francis Elementary in Pouch Cove, N.L., said the cows arrived just as the school was getting ready to unload the buses Wednesday morning. “They showed up almost as if they were coming to school with the students ... The kids were very excited,” Pinsent said. The cows’ yellow-grass field borders the school’s playground, but their escape hatch came more than a kilometre down the road, where a fence post had broken.
