One day, Krishna's foster father, Nanda Baba, asked him to take care of their cows. It was a big responsibility, as there were hundreds of cows to look after. Krishna gladly accepted the task and set off with his younger brother, Balarama.

As Krishna and Balarama led the cows to the grazing fields, they made sure every cow was safe and well-fed. Krishna played his flute, and the melodious tunes enchanted everyone, including the animals.
