In the protection of the mother

The white-black cow thinks: What should I do with my calf in the Black Forest? With the comic pines in the background. We come from the far north, from Holstein. The trees have the right leaves. We come from the sea and here are only mountains with hills. But - no other cow is as beautiful white-black as us: all the others here are only one-color brown. They look at us with even bigger eyes than we do. Here we are something special. I have to protect my calf from being arrogant. But that will happen when all the calves play together on the meadow.
