The Baby's Fingers are like Cows

In my sister's village lives a couple. The wife was pregnant. When there was near time to bear the baby, the husband was helping the neigbor to bear cow's baby. Whats the name of baby cow? I dont know.

The husband helped take out the baby cow from mother cow's belly. The husband just didnt pray. In javanese belief, a man who would have a baby, had to remember his future baby whenever doing something for the safety of the baby. So this husband just took out the baby cow. After a while, the wife bore the baby and the baby's legs and hands had no fingers. The fingers sticked together, their shape looked like cow's leg.

The doctor said, "these hands and legs can be repaired, but wait until the baby gets bigger and the fingers grow."

I don't know exactly the fingers look like. It is just a story from my sister.
