*重要* 注意事項：
1/ 讓Walk-A-Cow 行走的表面不能太滑，如雲石、玻璃、光滑的木面也不適合牛牛行走。
2/ 小木盒和牛牛要拉成一直線，如打斜線行走的話，牛牛很容易會跌倒。
3/ 小木盒的重量是牛牛行走的關鍵，太輕會走不了，太重會跌倒，所以需按不同表面調整木盒的重量。
1/ Walk-A-Cow could not walk on slippery/ very smooth surface, e.g. marble, glass and glossy wood table are not suitable.
2/ Walk-A-Cow should walk in straight line, otherwise it will fall easily.
3/ The weight of wood box is the key for smooth cow walking, adjust the weight if cow cannot walk or easily fall. Different surface will affect the amount of coins needed.

祝大家牛年身體健康壯健如牛！
Happy Year Of Ox!
