Tamil Proverb:
நல்ல நாளையில் நாழிப் பால் கறவாதது கன்று செத்துக் கலப்பால் கறக்குமோ?
English Translation:
In its best days the cow gave scarcely a measure of milk, will it yield a kalam after its calf is dead?This proverb may refer to the fact that milch, cows in this part of India and in Ceylon refuse to give their milk in the absence of the calf. The cow when going to a neighbouring house to be milked, is accompanied by its calf which is often muzzled like a dog. When the milkman is about to draw the milk he allows the calf to suck for a few moments and then tying it to the fore leg of the mother, he draws the milk, while she stands quiet licking her offspring. Cows do sometimes allow their milk to be taken when the calf is absent but it not infrequently happens that the cow refuses to give her milk, and the calf is fetched from the homestead to encourage the motherIf a calf die, its skin may be dried and stuffed. The cow deceived by the device licks the effigy of her calf and yields her milk.",
