The Buffalo Calf

Our Milkman’s buffalo gave birth to a calf so I and my mother went to see it.
On the way to the village where our Milkman stays I collected some grass for the buffalos.
At the house of the Milkman saw the calf. It was sitting. I gave one of the full grown buffalos little grass. Then the Milkman took the calf out. I played with it. It didn’t eat any grass because it is just twelve days old which is too small to eat grass.

The cloud forests

In the place where we stay there are cloud forests. But what is a cloud forest? A cloud forest is a forest that is always in clouds. They are dank and damp and are covered in clouds. A cloud forest is a perfect place for mushrooms, ferns, fungi, mosses and lichen. But where do cloud forests grow? They grow high up on tropical hills and mountains. The higher you are it the more cold it is.
We have forests like this in our place. Near our place there is a forest called Lingmala. It is a cloud forest. We often go there.

The bulls in our place

In my place there are beautiful bulls. These bulls have red horns and are white. There are called Khilare. And guess what? These bulls horns are sometimes painted blue or yellow. They are used in the fields to plough the land.
Every year in July there is a festival called Pola festival. It is a festival to thank the bulls for ploughing the fields. It is monsoon so it is the time the bulls have to plough the fields. I and my mother went to this festival last year. The bulls were nicely dressed. Some people had coloured they bulls with turmeric. They horns were freshly painted. They were really well dressed. After that they went running out of the village and on the road with their owners holding them. We were scared so we followed a safe distance behind. After that we went to some ones house. His bull had taken part in the Pola festival. The bull was sitting inside the house. He was eating fodder. There were more cows inside the house. There was also a calf.
