Kiva blog 5

This morning i woke up early, Nenita had not even woken up yet. I did not want to wake her up so i stayed in bed and started to think, I wonder where she keeps her livestock? How does she care for it? How does she sell it? Nenita woke up and started to shuffle around the house. "Good morning Nenita" "Magandang umaga po Lily". She replied. "Today we are going to sell some livestock and milk." Perfect i thought. We walked to the back of the house where there where 4 cows, 3 pigs, and 2 horses. "Wow, i never noticed all of this." "Well it is in the back yard. You have never been back here." she said grabbing a bucket. A cow stood up on a metal table, Nenita put a bucket under the black and white cows utter. She started to milk the cow, she squeezed the utter in a special order, milk started to shoot out of the pink otter. In 5 minutes the bucket was full to the top. Then she did the same thing with 3 other cows. When she had three buckets full. She poured a little bit of milk in my hand, i tasted it. It was warm and kinda sweet. "Yum" i said liking my hands. She picked up two buckets and handed me the other two. "Put them by the house." "ok" i said walking slowly. I put the buckets down by the house and ran to back to Nenita. "Today we have to sell one of the pigs." "how much are they?" i asked. "3 pesos". We walked out of the back yard and into the village. We walked up and down the village and did not sell the pig until it had gotten dark. My feet hurt a lot that day but i still had a great time!

I love how you described how to milk the cow and how much the pig was. It was amazing!
