The neighbour's cow !



Every morning, I watch this school going boy brings the cows for their bath to the stream, I feel challenged by the sense of responsibility this boy conveys. This routine he performs each day, before he goes to the school, is an example of diligent participation in the affairs of the family. 

It is his mother who brings milk to us every morning. They have five cows. His father runs a mechanic shops in the village and brings back the cows to the stable in the afternoon when he comes home for lunch. Often he comes back with a head load of grass for the cows. 

The cows listen to the boy's instructions. He calls them by their names and they respond. 

There is a friendship between the cows and this boy!

It is an unusual sight to see how this boy effortlessly takes care of the cows and the cows respond to him naturally!
