**Prabhupāda:**
Without mosquito curtain you cannot sleep.
**Devotee (1):**
No, we can sleep anywhere. But at Advaita Bhavan there's a fair amount of mosquitoes at night. But there's not so many that you can't sleep without mosquito coil burning.
**Prabhupāda:**
Ohh. That's all right. [break]
**Devotee (2):**
...wild goats, [indistinct].
**Prabhupāda:**
Hmm. [indistinct]

The rats in Hawaii are not so big as the rats here. They're only about this big, the body.

Every house has rats?
**Devotee (2):**
Not every house. No.
**Prabhupāda:**
At least Advaita Bhavan has got.
**Devotee (2):**
They were some, but they cleaned them out. They got rid of them. I'm not sure that's actually are rat poison.
**Devotee (3):**

We were getting a cow, but we joined with ISKCON just before we got the cow. We were going to get one for four hundred dollars. It was giving sixteen quarts a day and had a calf.
**Prabhupāda:**
Sixteen quarts?
**Devotee (2):**
A day, yes. There was a small calf also.
**Prabhupāda:**
There must be grazing ground for cows.
**Devotee (2):**
Yes.
**Prabhupāda:**
Then there is no problem.
**Devotee (2):**
There was a grazing ground. The lawn would grow. [indistinct]
**Prabhupāda:**
What is that? A recording?
**Devotee (2):**
Little.
**Prabhupāda:**
Why? These are not important thing.
**Devotee (2):**
True. [end]
