[There is a small blond child staring directly at the wall. We know it's at the wall, because the device only catches a side view, and he doesn't seem to know it's there. He's in school uniform: black knee shorts and a crisp white polo shirt and, as we watch, he takes a deep, deep breath.]
This is my report on THE COW.
[THE COW is as loud as it seems. And this accent is a strange one. Czech-stralian? Au-slovakian?]
THE COW is an dairy beast. It is dairy because it is for milk and it lives on an farm. The cow is an mammal. It has six sides which are above and below and one side and the other side which is left. Its back side has an tail which is for swatting all the flies so the flies do not fall into the milk. I do not know what the flies do when they are swatted.
The front end is the head which is for the purpose of having horns and so that there is somewhere for the mouth. The horns are for butting and the mouth it is for mooing. Under the cow hangs the milk. It is arranged for milking. When people milk the milk comes and there is never an end to how much milk there is. How the cow does it is a thing I have not yet realised but it just makes more and more. The cow has a fine sense of smell. It can be smelled from far far away.
The boy cow is called an Ox. It is not an mammal. When it is hungry it moos and when it says nothing it is because its insides are all filled up with grass. That is the end of my report on THE COW.
[He stops, waiting, as if expectant of some response. Then, when nothing comes, takes another deep, deep breath.]
