The Goat Bride
A goat - unnamed, so I shall call her Edith - has been obliged to marry one Mr Tombe in Sudan. Mr Tombe has also had to pay a dowry of $50 to Mr Alifi. Apparently, Mr Tombe was found in flagrante with Edith and the village elders decided marriage was the only option. This is not quite what I had in mind when I spoke of respecting the non-human wilderness. Edith, however, professes herself "over the moon" and says Mr Tombe is a "very gentle lover".

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Gives a poignant new meaning to the phrase 'the wife and kids', doesn't it?
