 What would you do if you suddenly won a real live cow? This is what happens to Kajsa when she and her dad one day visit a local fair. All her life, Kajsa has wanted an animal of her own and suddenly she wins Pärlan, a cow, in a raffle! But cows like Pearl need a lot of attention and work. For one, they have to be milked twice a day, and milking cows isn t all that easy if you re not used to it. When it s raining the cow has to be somewhere, but, if you live in an ordinary terraced house, finding a place for the cow to live can be a bit of a problem. And of course cows need to eat too. Cows eat a lot. There is no way the grass in Kajsa s garden will be enough for a hungry cow. So, no matter how hard Kajsa tries, Pearl just doesn t enjoy living with Kajsa. In fact, Pearl misses the country life and all of her cow friends.
