When Old Tom's wife, Bessie, leaves Old Tom in charge of all the farm chores he doesn't think that milking Belinda the cow will be a problem. But Belinda does not want to be milked by Old Tom and if he can't milk her then all the animals who rely on her milk will not get fed and Old Tom will have no milk for himself. He figures out an ingenious way to make Belinda stand still so he can milk her.

Lovely story with beautiful drawings and very humorous.
