After dinner, Elise soon began to feel sleepy, but she didn't want to leave her new friend, who was already asleep after having a warm bowl of milk.
The girls tried to give it cow milk but Samuel stopped it because he knew that would either give her diarrhoea or straight out death. It was because they couldn't process it, which was why they either needed goat milk or a unique formula.
The girls were pretty shocked learning the titbits about animal husbandry; none of them had ever experienced a farm and had yet to visit the family ranch, which Samuel was planning to take them tomorrow just to have some fun with the horses that he hadn't seen in weeks.
Fortunately, Peter had stocked up on a lot of things. As soon as Samuel called him, he sent out a few people to give food to the little animal. She drank the whole bowl, probably because she was starving, and soon began snoozing in Samuel's lap.
