Wise Cow II
Today Mooey has a challenging test from his mentor. He must spell all the words correctly. If he does, he will become a mentor, and teach other cows! Mooey studied as hard as he could the night before his challenge. He is on the last word of the list, and is scared! He is sure that the first 19 words are correct, but the last word is always a secret bonus word. Can you help Mooey?
Mentor: The last word is actually two words. It is your name. (Mooey's last name was Mooer)
Mooey was shocked! The bonus word was always extra-hard! He was just about to scrape "Mooey Mooer" in the mud, when he thought of something. It ended up making him a mentor. What did Mooey scrape in the mud?

this was too easy and a bit of an imitation of other ones...ok teaser
E-z but good.
Too easy, but you put a trick in this one.
A little too easy
I kinda felt it was too much like other teasers on the website

Cool trick, got it quickly but it was still fun anyway.
Loved the little story.
Loved the little story.
I got it, I loved how you put it in there but it wasn't too unique. Ah well.
I must admit, there are a lot of trick teasers like this, but not bad.
I love teh cow thing but it was pretty easy. =). Great Teaster nonetheless.
ah. but it could be a double bluff. maybe mooey (mooey?) was SUPPOSED to write "mooey mooer".
yeah, its a pretty old trick... really easy but somewhat original
I love tricks! YAY COWS!
That one was easy. Kind of when I was a kid and they would say something like well if you're so smart spell it! Some people would spell smart others caught on and would spell "it", then if the kids wanted to be mean they'd say it was still wrong and say that they were supposed to spell the alternate. (Spell smart instead:rollha ha ha ha ha h yeah, they were mean. ha ha ha
Good one!!!
This is too old a gimmick, it's reminiscent of second grade when some smart alec kid would ask the colors of the american flag. When answered "red white and blue," he would retort, "'and' isn't a color." I usually punched idiots like this in the head.
It was well written. Thats all I have to say thats good about it.
Everybody knows this trick. Just adding to the list of school gimmicks, I told kids I could make them say purple. They asked how, and I would ask them to name the colors of the American flag. Then I'd say, "Ha, I told you I could make you say white!" Then they'd respond, "But you said you could make me say purple!". It didn't work all the time, but got plenty of laughs from my school mates. Try it.
Huh? You lost me at purple?
lol! I got it right! That was funy though!
Cows aren't guys, they're girls. Boys are bulls.

I got this one too!
ok teaser, but yeah, it was a bit too much like the others on here.
and cows are still terrifying
and cows are still terrifying
I thought it was "two words" because the mentor said the word is actually 'two words'...could that be an alternate answer?
FUN!!! but a easy..???
haha, good one.
I love how his name is Mooey Mooer
Cool off guys,
great teaser - i loved the cows!
great teaser - i loved the cows!
So cows are smart as well as yummy?
What a cool setup for an old gag! Well done
As the comments indicate, this one is older than Moses. But it might be good fot the preschoolers.
that was good
Well, I'm not exactly a pre-schooler, but I liked this one. I'm sure it is a take on an old trick question, but I for one, never heard it before. Enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.
I love an occassional teaser like this. It's FUN!! Don't get in such a state that you forget to have FUN!!!
So THAT'S what cows do all day long - they spell! Fun teaser, and cute story!
This is udderly rediculous.
Easy teaser, but a good story line.
HA
I love the cow thing, but in your last teaser Mooey was female, now he's male. In your next "Mooey" teaser, please keep Mooey's gender a constant.
AWESOME teaser!
AWESOME teaser!
Everyone has already said it. Easy and much like others that have been done before. Fooey Mooey!
Mooey was not a cow. "He" denotes the masculine and that ain't bull, but he is.
Again a good one for the younger crowd. But maybe it's time to MOOve this one to the trash barrel. And a to T & that dancing lady from Mi.
Not much to add - it's already been said! Today is 11/11/11 and since that's a rare occurrence, I'll have to do something special to celebrate this day! So, moooving right along... Thank you Doehead! Have a great day everyone!
I almost over thought this one
Very funny, too easy.
Thanks to all the vets out there.

would
I got this one and I liked it. Happy Veterans Day to everyone.
Thank you to all the vets out there.
Easy teaser, but cute for kiddies.

At first, I thought was going for " cash cow
I guessed correctly. However before settling on my answer, I couldn't help wonder why Mooey would have had any trouble writing his own name.
To the people who said this one is good for the kids, is it okay to like it if you are in your second childhood as I am?
I wonder if those who comment on how easy they have found a teaser to be realize that the message they're sending to those who might not have found it so easy is, "Look how bright I am and how stupid you are"?
I don't think this teaser is easy, I think it's just a trick people recognize. Like how some people are really good at Rebus' because they recognize the types of tricks used. I am definitely going to tell this one to my nephew! And anyone else that hasn't heard the trick before.
Definitely, Babe! Good for you.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly.
