Hello everyone and warm welcome to my blog again. Easter is almost here with us and I wish everyone a happy celebration.
One of the topics for #marchinleo is about animals so I'll be sharing something that happened with some goats I saw. It's kind of a funny post, so you better get ready to laugh. Lol.
Okay here's what happened. I was going home and getting to my street I saw this three goats. Looking at them you'll agree with me that it's a complete family of the male, female and kid and I'm guessing they were going for a mission.
Actually they were on a mission to go fend for themselves. It's not unusual to see goats roaming around my environment in search of where to find grasses to eat. Some do enter cultivated farm lands especially unsecured ones and destroy the crops. If this happens, the goats will be caught and handed over to the village chief and the the owner will pay a fine with strict warning to keep them in check but with all these, some still release theirs and that's why these ones are out here.
They were actually hurrying but I halted them, and asked where they were going to, lol.
They stood looking at me for a while and seeing that I was blocking their way and not making any move to go, they moved away and tried to pass but I stopped them again and this time told them to go back to where they were coming from.
When they saw that I wasn't going to allow them pass, they just turned and started walking back slowly while I followed them closely. I can only imagine the thoughts running through their minds as they walked back.
Who knows, maybe the nanny which is the female goat might have said something like
.
Who's this witch stopping us from going to Mama Nkechi's farm to eat those fresh vegetables that had just grown.
The kid might have replied
Oh yes, those vegetables are really fresh and succulent. I've been hoping for the day we'll go there and had already planned how to enjoy every bit of the cut that I will take. Thinking about it now makes me feel so hungry..
You know kids will always think about food, lol.
At this point I could imagine billy which is the male saying;
Don't worry, dear, let's just pretend and go back quietly now so she can let us be and when she passes we'll still go to that farm. Remember she doesn't stay around our compound neither will she be here for long. These humans think they are wise and that we, the goats, know nothing without knowing that they are the ones really lacking in sense. They usually forget that once we're determined to go somewhere, no one can stop us. How does she even think she'll be able to stop us from going out, unless we're caged.
And this is a fact, you can hardly stop a goat from going where it has set its mind to go, except you cage it. Even at that it will still be disturbing to go out until you get grasses for it. I think that's the reasons they're referred to as being stubborn.
They actually did go back just like billy, the male had said because after I had gone a little farther from their compound, I turned back and there they were rushing out again, lol.
This is just my imagination running wild, and I'm sure you may ask what exactly is the story all about. Well the motive of sharing the content is to make you laugh and I'm sure it did, hehehe.馃槀
