The Last Two

Today we handed out the last 2 goats. It took us over 2 months to find 20 healthy goats in a place where there are tons of goats just roaming the street...we had a little bit higher standard than just any roaming goat, but still, it took a long time.

When we paid for the last two the farm owner said 'I have a gift for you' and he went to his car. We didn't really know what to expect but thought that, since he's recently become fairly rich off of the goats we bought from him, it might be something good. Then he brought out a watermelon. Apparently someone had given it to him and he didn't want it so he was re-gifting it to us...only he wasn't ashamed of the fact that it was a re-gift and he totally told us that....thanks buddy!

I also gave 'my' goat to my friend out there. That farm owner was really insistent on giving me this baby goat and I really have no desire to actually keep and be responsible for a goat no matter how cute it is, so I re-gifted it. My friend has a 3 month old baby named Fatima. I asked her if Fatima wanted a friend and she laughed like I was joking but said sure. I told her I was serious several times, although I don't think she actually believed me until I showed up at her front door with it this afternoon. Now baby Fatima has a new friend!
