So, which is the most beautiful animal?

Srutakirti: It was a very beautiful afternoon. The sun was shining into Srila Prabhupada's sitting room through the leaded glass windows. He was walking around the room chanting japa. He stopped in front of the windows and looked out into the garden. "So, which is the most beautiful animal?" he asked me. 'A cow?!I blurted out with little conviction in my voice. "No," he said quickly. "A horse. The horse has a very beautiful form. The muscle structure is very nice." Again, I messed up. I thought Krishna's favorite animal was a cow. It had to have been a cow. As soon as Srila Prabhupada told me otherwise, though, it made perfect sense. Srila Prabhupada, I beg you to tell me again that my only business is to be with you 24 hours a day.
