The cows from a Liechtenstein village are due to return home from a summer in the mountain pastures. The best milk producers get to wear ribbons and bells in the procession home, but poor little 'Weakling' is sad, knowing she will never qualify for such glories, and also that she is causing poverty to her owner. Then she appears to be praying to the statue to Saint Ludmila:...

'For a prayer need not be a rhetorical address, or an itemized petition, or lips moved soundlessly inside a cathedral, or even words spoken into the air. A prayer may be a wordless inner longing, a sudden outpouring of love, a yearning within the soul to be for the moment united with the infinite and the good...'
