He used the opportunity 2 his son. "The secret of my life this: The cow doesn't give milk," said the father. The boy asked his father in 3 , "What are you saying?" "As you hear it, son, you must know the cow doesn't give milk 4 , and you have to milk it. If you don't milk it every day, it will 5 giving milk. And I won't be able to support our 6 . When you search for 7, remember what I said," said the father.
The milkman continued, "I have to get up at 4 o'clock every day. First, I need to clean the waste on the farm. Then I need to 8 the legs of the cows and start to milk them. After that, I have to try my best to 9 the milk." Hearing this, the son was 10 , and he decided to go to the 11 to help his dad.
