Answer: Let us assume there is a milkman who has 5 cows. He has also constructed a separate room to maintain these cows. Along with the cows, there are calves which are kept at a distance away from the cows. The milkman and his wife look after these cows and calves by providing them with grass, fodder, etc. Sometimes, the cow falls sick, which is then been looked after by the veterinary doctor. These cows, in turn, give milk, and by selling the milk, the milkman earns his livelihood.
