Hello there all the boys and girls. And welcome to a story right out of a true fairy tale. Lets all take a ride into a fantasy world of where some of the food we eat and drink originates.
Have you ever wondered where all the wonderful flavored milk comes from? There are lots and lots of ideas where the many different flavors of milk is found. This story will give you many things to think about and to maybe find out the real tale about milk and where it is found.
Lets begin,
Many years ago this little boy and girl who lived in the country were getting tired of drinking only white milk. They decided one day to find out if there was other kinds of milk. They both lived on a farm and all the cows in the pasture were all white. The little girl started asking if the reason that all the milk that they were drinking was white, was because all the cows were white. The little boy started thinking that maybe both of them should find out if the near by neighbors had cows and what color were their cows.
That afternoon after doing all their chores around the farm. They asked permission the go to the neighbors farm to look at their cows. When they arrived at the farm. They were surprised to see red cows in the pasture. The children went to the farmhouse to ask them some questions about their red cows. The first question that was asked, was what color is the milk from your red cows? The neighbor responded to them with a simple answer. Of course the milk is a red color. Because all red milk comes from red cows. And the milk even tastes like strawberries. The children were surprised and wanted to know more about cows. The farmer offered the children a sample of the red milk and they were so excited. It tasted just like strawberries. They asked the neighbor if there were other cows in the area that were a different color. The neighbor yes” why yes”,. Just down the road from here are cows that are brown. The children thanked the farmer and off they ran.
After walking a ways they came upon the next farm and to their surprise, in the field there were lots of brown cows. This got the children all excited and they ran to the farm house to talk to this farmer. After they knocked on the door, the farmer said, “ please come in”. The children were so excited and they wanted to ask this farmer the same question. Why are all your cows brown. The farmer looked at the children and started to laugh and with a big big smile on his face, he answered. Why that is a simple question to answer. All our brown cows give chocolate milk. The children asked for a sample of this brown milk that tastes like chocolate. After trying the sample they were so excited and could not wait to get back home to tell their parents that they wanted one brown and one red cow so they could have flavored milk every day.
The word spread far and wide about the red and brown milk and how it tasted like strawberries and chocolate. Before long every one wanted to have not only white cows but also a red and brown cow. As time passed there was more and more farms with white, red and brown cows.
So now you know that a white cow gives white milk, a brown cow gives chocolate milk and the red cow gives red milk that tastes like strawberries.
So to make sure we have plenty of chocolate milk we have to save the brown cows and red cow and make sure they are happy where they live and will not run away.
So now when you go to the supermarket to buy food and you see more white milk on the shelf as compared to the brown and red milk . Just remember we have to save the brown cows to have chocolate milk to drink.
