Those poor nativity animals

From the mouths of babes.....
My mom was reading Brianna a book about the nativity.
Brianna looked up and said "Grandma, why are all those animals so sad?" (the animals around the manger).
My mom responded "Bri, I don't think they're sad, i think they're just serious because they are watching baby Jesus.".
"No Grandma," said Bri "They are sad. Do you want me to tell you why?"
"Yes, Bri, Why are they sad?"
"Grandma, those poor animals are sad because they are so hungry and Baby Jesus just keeps laying on their hay"
