In old Hawai'i the first cows were brought to the
islands on large sailing ships. When they arrived at the harbor the
cows were lowered into the water and they swam to shore. The little
Hawaiian children were very interested in these peaceful creatures and
loved their big dark eyes and long eyelashes.
Today, there are cows on all of the islands. The
people of Hawai'i like to say that Hawaiian cows make sweeter milk because
they graze in fields on the slopes of volcanoes and along the coast where
they can see the blue, blue ocean. |
