[Tutor] Question about reading from a file.

I recently discovered how to read from a file but I've having some trouble
with it. I made a short example program that goes like this:


   1. fob = open('c:/python27/a.txt', 'r')
   2.
   3. print fob.read()
   4. print fob.read()

When it runs it returns this:


   1. Hey now brown cow
   2.

It's like it forgets how to read after the first time. This has left me
very confused. Could you offer any reason why this might be happening?
