A woman visited the village fair to purchase a cow. She wandered along the long lines of cattle, brought for sale. She could not get the cow she sought. For she wanted a cow that was hornless, tame; she must have a female calf; she must eat very little grass; she must yield a good quantity of milk; she must give a sizeable quantity of dung, black green in colour, so that she can use it for flooring her hut; she must be of the holy Kapita (brown, tawny or reddish) colour.
No wonder she had to return disappointed!
(Chinna Katha from the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
