A young medical student is given his final examination on human reproduction.
After reading Question 1; "Give five reasons why a mother's milk is better than a cows
milk for a newborn baby?"; he recalled four and quickly wrote them down in his exam
book.
1. A mother's milk is more nutritious; it contains better balance of fats,
carbohydrates and proteins for the newborn;
2. A mothers milk contains a mix of vitamins that more closely aligns to a
human baby's needs.
3. A mothers milk contains immunological agents that will help the newborn fight
bacteria, viruses and other infections.
4. Breast feeding is more nurturing and better developmentally for the child.
Stumped, frustrated and running out of time, he searched his mind for a fifth
reason. After pondering the question for an agonizing five minutes, he quickly scribbled a
fifth response:
5. The milk is delivered in a warm and "really cute" cup.
He got an "A" on the exam.
