I had earlier heard the popular saying, ‘dane dane pe likha hota hai, khane wale ke naam‘ but it is only today I realise what it actually means. I’ll tell you why. There is a new addition to the chronicles of animals in the news (remember the stoner rats? Or the alcoholic ones?) and this one doesn’t even have a tail. Oh, but mind you, the tail is nothing short of a revelation!
A hungry goat in Uttar Pradesh apparently chewed up notes worth Rs 66,000 that its owner, Sarvesh Kumar Pal had kept in the pocket of his trousers.Â
According to reports, the currency was in the denomination of Rs 2,000 notes, which the farmer had kept to purchase bricks for construction work for his house.
Sarvesh Kumar later revived only two notes out of all, that too in a damaged condition. He said,Â
“I was taking a bath and the money was kept in the pocket of my trousers. Notorious for eating all kinds of paper products, the goat seized the chance to munch on its favourite food. What to do, my goat is like a child to me. Later, two notes wet in saliva could be retrieved in a damaged condition.
Some even suggested to take the goat to veterinarians and get some medicines to make the animal vomit and recover the lost money. Many asked me to sell the goat to a butcher. We can’t be cruel to our pet. It is like our own child.”
Isn’t that adorable on so many levels. But, like you’d suspect, the goat is already a star of the village with people flocking to click selfies with it.
