When I was growing up, I didn't like tethering goats for several reasons. It was a very difficult thing for me to do because I was suppose to tether them when it was very cold in the mornings and I didn't like to leave my comfort of my warm blanket. In the evenings too, I could not stay out a bit longer because the goats need to get into pane??
As if this was not enough, some goats were very heady. Even more so, goats will chew up any savon around and we will be in trouble with either our mother or didn't even have any soap left for washing stuff.
From time to time a goat will let loose and eat up someone's crops and you will be in trouble. One day I went to tether goats and grabbed some grass and a snake was right there. It almost got me.
When I finally left the village, I had nothing to do with goats for a very long time except to have them in my place for I really like goat meat.
One day I had some money with my father and before he long, he told me he had used it to buy a goat. I was very mad at him for buying a goat with my money even without my consent. Actually my father bought the goat because the goat owner had some health crises and my father would not watch someone in need when he had the money and the person wanted to sell the goat. I almost told my father off about the goat issue but thank God I held my peace. Several months down the road, I received some money from my father that my goat gave birth and the young grow up and was sold. I felt so ashamed of myself in front of my father. This is my little goat that my cousin is tethering for me. It has another young again. Maybe I will eat that one with time since I like goat meat.
