The evening he arrived, Ajji took himto the cowshed behind the house.Four gentle brown cows weremunching on the hay Ajji had

collected for them.

"Raju, remember the glass of milk you just had?This is the cow that the milk came from!"said Ajji.liThemilk Idrank came from a cow?"

asked Raju,very surprised."You mean you just milked her and therewas my glass of milk, ready to drink?"

"Yes, Raju," smiled Ajji."Come and meet my cows.This is Kaveri, whose milk you just drank, this is Kapila,this one is Ganga, and there at the far corner is Gowri."Raju stood where he was, looking at the cows doubtfully.

"Come, Raju," coaxed Ajji."Come and touch them.They won't hurt you."

"No, Ajji," said Raju, feeling a little silly."All Iknow is that in the city, our milkcomes to our door in plastic sachets."


14/28

"Come, let me show you," said Ajji.Taking him by the hand, she led him to Kapila.

Kapila's calf was close by.Ajjifirst allowed the calf to suckle, anddrink as much milk as she needed.

Then she washed Kapila's udders with water and cleaned them.Sitting on her haunches, she began to milk the cow, pressing

the udders gently between finger and thumb.

19/28

As Rajuwatched, milk spurted fromthe udders into the vessel below.The vessel began to fill up slowlyand the milk began to turn frothy atthe top. Rajuwas surprised andpleased to see the frothy milk."Ajji," he said excitedly, "see howthe bubbles are forming at the top!"

21/28

"Yes, Raju," said Ajji,smiling at his excitement.ttWhen Ipull on the udders, powerful jets ofmilk come out. They hit the surface of the milkin the vessel with great force, mixing with theair and forming bubbles. That is what makesfresh milk taste so different from milk thatcomes out of a packet!"ttWow! I had no idea!" said Raju.


22/28

Ajjiboiled the fresh frothy milk in the kitchen,and poured out a glass for Raju. It tasted so

good that Raju finished it in a few quick gulps."Ajji,when Igo back to the city, I shall tell all

my friends where milk comes from," said Raju."I shall tell them how good fresh milk tastes at

my Ajji's house."


23/28

Ajjilaughed happily. liDo that, my little Raju,"she said. ttThen everyone will know who the

cleverest boy in the class is!"
