Baba Atenga has ten cows. He is fond of them all. One afternoon, one of the cows breaks loose. This happens when he sends them out to graze. Its name is Paka the cow. It fiercely jumps unto the street and off it goes. It goes through various places, enters a township, moves straight to a school compound, then to other places. Its roaming leads it to the lorry station as well. As to whether it is going to board a lorry, no one knows. Everywhere it goes it creates fear and panic.

How is Paka the cow tamed?
