Milking the cows

Every morning at 5 a.m. I milk the cows. I have to bind their feet together to keep them still. On average, I can sell about seven litres of milk per day, which raises about 21 dirhams (2.50 US dollars) I give whatever milk is left over to my children and sometimes I make butter out of the cream.

I also sell eggs and when I really need to, for example, to cover medical expenses, I sell a sheep.
