A story about cows and lack of water
In the morning, Seckou takes us out on a guided tour. First we go see the cows, as Isabelle had announced she would like to milk them. It is a hard job because it is so slippery due to the fact that the cows are still feeding a calf. Me too, I give the milking a try and, being a novice at it, I manage pretty well but …only a scarcely amount of milk is coming out. It probably first had to go in as water and providing that water became a huge problem. Human hand power has to pull it up from the deep well. “Why is there not another grassland pomp?” Isabelle, the farmer’s wife, asks herself. Grassland pomp: the cows push against it with their nose and water is pouring out, just like that. Seckou Kande is listening very interested.
