Emily (em_drewett) | 2 comments the only other details I can remember is that the artwork is stylised so that everything is round and large - both characters and their cow, for example.

I can remember her milking the cow; she’s able to do everything he can well.
I remember him trying to do laundry; he fails miserably at it.

Basically he was saying that what he does everyday is more advanced and specialised than what she does, but was proven very wrong.

It's an old Norwegian folktale.
