Summary "Riya's Foundling" by Algis Budrys is a science fiction novel likely written in the early to mid-20th century. The book explores the themes of connection and identity through the interaction between a young boy, Phildee, and a creature reminiscent of an intelligent cow named Riya. The narrative poses intriguing questions about what it means to be a mother and the nature of understanding across species. The story begins with Phildee's imaginative play and gradually shifts to Riya's journey, illustrating her longing to find a mate among wild creatures. As their paths converge, Riya's maternal instincts awaken upon encountering Phildee, who is confused and intrigued by her. Through their interactions, both characters experience an emotional transformation: Riya finds joy in nurturing, while Phildee grapples with his identity in an unfamiliar world. Ultimately, their bond transcends species, highlighting themes of love, belonging, and the unique connection that can exist between beings despite their differences.
