Parent and Teacher guide
Children, like Dana love to get presents for their Birthday. Dana is happy and excited when her loving uncle gives her his favorite cow “Fifi” so she can have fresh milk every day. Fifi hates to be tied in the small garden and gets into one problem after another until Dana’s mother asks the uncle to take Fifi back to the farm with him. Parents and teachers can talk about the suitable place for different animals. They can encourage the child to think of more humorous situations that may arise from having a cow in a city home.
