| The audio is from a live radio show with students from Santa Rita Elementary, Egan Junior High and Los Altos High School in Los Altos, CA and KZSU of Stanford University in Stanford, CA. The Indo-Brazilian on-line script matches what the students actually performed. So what you hear and what you read will match. (This is a great way to learn English and to learn how to read.) It is NOT the same as the PDF script. I.E. As usual, our young actors changed a few of their lines while performing. |

Cows in Brazil? Today we’re talking about the Indo-Brazilian.
Hello!
Excuse - what?
Hello! You must be here for my interview.
Your -
My interview. I'm an Indo-Brazilian cow. A Zebu type breed.
A what?
Zebu type breed. Oh, come on. You’re supposed to know what kind of cow I am.
Well I -
Haven’t you people got your notes together yet? I'm a breed that was developed from the Gir and Kankrej breeds back in India with some Ongole thrown in for fun. I think that’s why my horns are so small. Ha ha.
I'm sorry. What did - what about the Ongole?
The Ongole?
Yes, the Ongole? What did you say they gave you? INDO-BRAZILIAN Oh, the Ongole. I think I got some of the shape of my horns from them. Mine are more forward and much prettier and more petite than the Gir’s. And less bullfighting than the Kankrej’s. Those Kankrejs look ready to take you down their horns are so mean looking! Yes, I’d say the Ongole helped make me look more friendly.
Did you say Gir? INDO-BRAZILIAN Gir? Oh yes. The Gir gave me my big, long, pendulous ears. They are quite spectacular, don’t you think?
Yes, yes, I guess they are.
Guess? Guess nothing, my friend! I have the biggest ear of all cow breeds. I can turn my head and smack you in the face in no time! Make you see stars, my friend. And you can thank the Kankrej for my monster dewlap.
Your what?
My what? Oh, my dewlap. That huge piece of loose skin that hangs from my neck like the wattle on the neck of a turkey, your national bird.
Our national bird is the eagle.
Not if Ben Franklin had had his way. No sir! Anyway, my dewlap is very impressive thanks to the Kankrej.
And your hump over your withers and neck?
My hump? Oh, I think just about every breed back in India has one of those.
Okay, so getting back to your ears. Don’t you think your pendulous ears make hearing more difficult?
What?
Yes, well, thank you for your time.
