With milk, please!
For many people, the first thing they're longing for in the morning, is a nice cup of coffee. One of the male students who lives in the neighbouring student's hostel obviously has a similar habit. Yesterday morning we saw him walking outside, enjoying both the tranquil early-morning sunrise and...a nice cup of coffee. He looked around contently, breathing in some fresh air and holding on to his coffee like a dear friend. Since most animals here in Kosti walk around freely, some curious goats came closer while continuing eating the grass. Suddenly, the young man seemed to have an inspiring moment! My coffee would taste even better with a little bit of fresh milk!, we heard him think. Without hesitating, he knelt down next to the goat, holding his cup right under the udder. Within a few seconds he had turned his black coffee into a rich creamy delicacy. He seemed to thank the goat kindly and continued his morning ritual like nothing ever happened, leaving us watching though the window with a smile on our face.
