Once upon a time, there lived a cow.
There was no one in the whole world who tirelessly gave so much of such wonderful milk. People came from far and wide to look at this miracle.
Everyone praised her. Fathers told their children how dedicated she was to her mission. Religious hierarchs encouraged their flock to imitate her example in their own way. Statesmen referred to her as a model of proper behavior, orderliness and thoughtfulness, reproduced in human society. In short, everyone managed to benefit from it.
However, one little thing eluded most people, preoccupied with the obvious advantages of the cow. You see, she had this habit: as soon as the milk pan was filled with her incomparable milk, she would kick it and knock it over.
