Today I was with my grandfather to mow the grass on his plot. While mowing I saw an interesting animal in the distance. I took the moment to take a break and go to say hello to those animals. These were goats, one of the most interesting animals in my opinion. I heard them humming, so they were greeting me too. We can learn many things from them. They are a symbol of the peasant way of life, and we rarely, almost never see them in urban life, but luckily for me I found them in my city.
Danas sam bio sa mojim dedom da kosim travu kod njega na placu. Dok sam kosio ugledao sam zanimljivu životinju u daljini. Iskoristio sam trenutak da napravim pauzu i odem da se pozdravim sa tim životinjama. To su bile koze, jedne od, po mom mišljenju, najzanimljivijih životinja. Čuo sam kako mekeću, znači pozdravljaju i one mene. Od njih možemo da naučimo mnogo stvari. One su simbol seljačkog načina života, i retko, skoro nikada ih ne možemo ugledati u urbanom životu, ali eto na moju sreću ja sam ih našao u mom gradu.
Although we often forget goats, they are one of the most important animals for today's life. They do not serve us only to take meat and milk from them, they are much more than that, they have a greater function. Goats are curious, resourceful and hardworking animals. They always find a way to get food, to escape from predators. You may have seen on the internet how dexterous they are, when they start climbing steep rocks, goats do it with ease. They are like acrobats. They easily escape from the predator, because they always notice it in time, thanks to their eyes. I don't know how many of you have noticed, but goats have square-shaped pupils. This allows them to have a wider viewing angle.
Iako često zaboravljamo koze one su jedne od najvažnijih životinja za današnji život. One nam ne služe samo da od njih uzimamo meso i mleko, one su mnogo više od toga, imaju veću funkciju. Koze su radoznale, snalažljive i vredne životinje. One uvek nadju način da dodju do hrane, da pobegnu od predatora. Možda ste videli koliko su spretne na internetu, kada krenu da se penju po stenama koje su pod velikim nagibom, koze to rade sa lakoćom. One su kao akrobate. Od predatora sa lakočom pobegno, jer ga uvek primete na vreme, to im omogučavaju njihove oči. Ne znam koliko ste primetili, ali koze imaju zenice u obliku kvadtrata. To im omogućava da imaju širi ugao posmatranja.
As I said, goats have a far greater function than providing milk and meat. They are fans of weeds, clover and small grass. Some call them natural lawnmowers. They can eat and live on food that most animals could not eat, this makes them easy to maintain, they are not demanding. Goats just need company. You have noticed how they are never alone, but always in a group, so they can feel safer and happier. They are also very good therapists. I don't know how knowledgeable you are, but there is a therapy called "Goat therapy". This therapy is important for people with special needs and for people under stress. Goats are very calm creatures, and as I said, sociable. That is why they are used in the therapeutic industry.
Kao što sam rekao, koze imaju daleko veću funkciju od davanja mleka i mesa. One su obožavatelji korova, deteline i sitne trave. Neki ih zovu i prirodnim kosilicama. One mogu da jedu i žive na hrani koju većina životinja ne bi moglo da jede, to ih čini lakim za održavanje, nisu zahtevne. Kozama samo treba društvo. Primetili ste kako nikada nisu same, već su uvek u grupi, tako se osećaju sigurnije i srećnije. Takodje se veom dobri terapeuti. Ne znam koliko ste upućeni, ali postoji terapija pod imenom "Goat therapy". Ova terapija je značajna za ljude sa posebnim potrebama i za ljude pod stresom. Koze su veoma smirene živetinje, i kao što sam rekao, druželjubive. Zato nalaze primenu u terapeutkskoj industriji.
It is interesting how such a seemingly simple animal can have so much power. We often forget that everything we need can be found in nature. Everything natural is much healthier than the artificial food that is increasingly imposed on us. Even today it is almost impossible to find natural food, everything is produced artificially. Natural food is much more expensive. Why is that so?
Zanimljivo je kako tako naizgled jednostavna životinja može da ima toliku moć. Često zaboravljamo da se može naći u prirodi sve što nam je potrebno. Sve prirodno je dosta zdravije od veštačke hrane koja nam se sve više nameće. Čak je danas skoro nemoguće naći prirodnu hranu, sve danas nastaje veštačkim putem. Prirodna hrana je novčano dosta skuplja. Zašto je to tako?
