Curious frog and milk bucket

A FABLE RETOLD BY LLNNE Marie

Art by Jacob Souva

We all know that the frogs have sharp eyes, the tongue is swallowed quickly, and pests such as flies, mosquitoes, moths and other pests are specially prey. On this day, the little frog discovered a milk barrel. It wanted to know what was in the barrel, especially whether there were flies, so he jumped in. As a result, the little frog found that there were no flies in the milk bucket, only full of milk! The milk barrel is deep. Although the little frog is very anxious, he can't climb out. So it calmed down and kept swimming in milk, swimming ... as long as you don't give up your efforts, miracles will always happen!

After reading this comic story, have you found what?

We all know that milk is liquid, but in the story, after a little frog struggling, liquid milk finally turned into a solid butter. What is going on?

The main components of milk are water, fat, protein, and fat are wrapped in protein outer membranes, so they can be combined with liquid. But if the milk is stirred like a little frog, it will break the protein outer membrane that protects the fat. The fat flows out of the small ball, slowly floating and gathering into pale yellow solids. This is butter!

The cakes, cookies, and small crisp we like are made of butter, but because it contains a lot of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, avoid excessive intake.
