This story is about a cow named Maruxina who loses her black spots. She tries various methods to get them back, such as washing in the river, getting ashes rubbed on her by a mining dog, and getting painted by a rabbit artist. However, her spots keep disappearing whenever she gets wet. Finally, while resting under a tree feeling sad, a voice asks her why she is out in her pajamas at that hour. Maruxina blushes out of anger and embarrassment at the comment, but is happy to discover that her black spots have naturally returned.
