      Waya was trying his utmost to get milk from the udders of the cow all to no avail.
     The roughly squeezed the udders  causing the cow to moo in pain. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't get milk out of the cow.
      "What are you doing?" A voice rang
    He could recognize the voice anywhere. Waya looked up at Freya.
          Am milking the cow.
"You're milking the cow or you're strangling it by it udders".
       Waya looked at her In slight annoyance.
    "And you think you can do a better job?"
      Freya harshly nudged him away from the udder.
     "Watch and learn you moron, start with the teats, grab hold of the teats with your thumb.
  Hold a bucket tightly between your knees, so it won't get knocked down.  Keep the bucket as close as possible to the teat -- the part that protrudes from the cow's udder.
    This is where the milk comes out. Start with one of the two front teats. Grab hold of the teat with your hand, with your thumb and forefinger. This will prevent milk going back into the udder.
    Place the rest of your fingers of the same hand around the teat and move them one by one in a downward motion.
Squeeze the milk out.
Release your thumb and forefinger to allow more milk to come out of the udder into the teat.
     Waya looked at her in astonishment.
         "How do you know so much about cows?" Waya asked 
    "Unlike you, some of us study. Now milk the rest of the cows".
  Waya wasn't one to follow orders but he didn't hesitate in milking the cows for he needed to go home.
      Milking hundreds of cows
Wasn't a particularly romantic experience, Freya out of exhaustion left Waya who seemed inexhaustible to his own device.
           Waya didn't mind working all night for the sooner he finished, the sooner he could leave the dump.
       Waya produced eight thousand gallons of cow milk much to the astonishment of Freya and the utter pleasure of the old man.
       The old man smiled
   "As promised, you can have the carriage" Waya was in glee as he vaulted into the carriage and steered the carriage towards Malabour with Freya in tow.
