Essay on cow by school-kid in Kolkata

A kid in a reputed school in Kolkata scored a perfect '0' on '8' against Qtn 6a. He was asked to write a paragraph about 'cows' in Bengali.



Translated into English, this is what he wrote:
"Cow is an animal. We all know cow. Cow roams everywhere near us. Cow calls 'hamba, hamba'. Cow has four tails and one leg. Cow is a vegetarian, so eats grass. Cow gives milk. Mother Dairy takes this milk and supplies us. I drink milk every morning. My friend Raj stays on the 24th floor of South City. He has not seen a cow."

I'd like to follow this kid's career progress .....he is creative & has a sense of logical reasoning
Might grow up to head a good creative agency
He has seen cows but his friend staying on the 24th Floor of an upmarket housing cluster has not seen one
A cow is a veggie & therefore eats grass while my young author is a non-veg who by logical reasoning has fish, chicken, eggs only
