One Story A Day

Where Does Milk Come from? Billy is six years old. He visits his uncle and aunt every summer. They live on a farm. They have cows, chickens, sheep, and a big horse on the farm. Billy loves all the animals. This summer, he is going to learn how to milk a cow. Wow! His friends cannot believe it.

“ We get our milk from the store, ” they say. “ But our friend is going to get it from a cow. ” Billy laughs. “ Milk does not come from the store, ” he says. “ Milk comes from a cow. ” His friends do not believe him. But his teacher says, “ Yes, milk comes from cows. Cows eat grass. They change the grass into milk. The farmer sells the milk. And we buy it in the stores. ” The teacher tells them one more thing. “ Did you know that cows have four stomachs?” The kids are surprised. But it’s true!
