Here is how that inferno, that you may or may not have seen, started. There was once a wealthy farmer, who owned a very large farm. In the farm, he had a lot of poultry, sheep and goats. The sheep provided wool for clothing, for the household. The goats provided the milk and the poultry laid the eggs that fed everyone.
One day, the farmer had to go on a very long trip. So he called all the farm animals together to inform them of his imminent departure. Every group had their leader, whom the farmer addressed on behalf of the rest. He called out the head of the sheep, head of the goats and the head of the poultry.
After reaffirming to each leader, what they had to do for their respective flock and fowl. He then appointed the head of the sheep, to be in charge of all the other animals too. Basically, he would be in charge of all the farm animals while the farmer was away. The farm owner then went ahead to give the selected supervisor, three main and vital instructions to assure the safety of the farm.
Instruction #1: The poultry had to be fed in the morning and the eggs laid overnight, were to be taken into the house. If the birds missed a meal, they would feed on their eggs. Which would result in starvation for the farm and eventually the poultry.
Instruction #2: The sheep leader, had to make sure that the night burning wood was put out before bedtime. For if it burned all night, it would catch on to the hay that was stored in the barn. And eventually, burn down the whole farm.
Instruction #3: He also had to shut the small window, in the roof of the barn every night. This was to prevent the hawk, from coming in to kill and make away with the fowls. He had done that in the past and frequently sought occasion, to do it again.
The goat did not like this arrangement and thus bleated angrily in protest. He was enraged, that he had not been chosen to take charge and control the rest. He argued that he was stronger, louder and more aggressive than the chosen sheep. The qualities of a leader, as far as he was concerned. The farmer and master of them all agreed with the goat, about all his aforementioned qualities and abilities.
However, the patient owner went ahead to explain, that he had chosen the sheep because among other things. The sheep often spent time in the house and knew how he the farmer, performed tasks and whatever needed to be done.
He also reminded the goat, that while he bucked around in fights and aggressively bullied other animals. The sheep was content to simply follow him about, observing and learning what his master did on a daily basis. He had also occasionally joined in, to do a chore or two around the farm.
To drive home his point further, the farmer decided to test the goat on farm activities and duties. He asked him, to put out the burning wood at night. The goat responded quickly and rather brashly. Stating that he had no idea, where the burning wood was or how to put it out. The farmer then went ahead, to ask the goat if he could also shut the small window in the barn at night.
The goat responded, that he never realized that there was a window on the roof. Or that the fowls, were ever in any danger. He even added gruffly, that the milk he provided was enough work. And that he did not need any more assignments.
“Now do you understand, why among other things? I have to give the sheep, the responsibility of taking care of the farm while I am gone.” The farmer asked the goat, who simply shrugged and walked away.
The next day, the farmer left for his trip. During the day, as the sheep scattered food for the chickens. The goat came and began to buck at the sheep with his horn, to pick a fight. “You cannot be over me,” he complained. Meanwhile, the birds ran helter-skelter, forfeiting their meal.
Then at night, the goat watched as the sheep separated the burning wood to put out the fire for the night. After the sheep left the barn, the goat went in and put the wood back together again to ignite the fire. “You think you are smarter than me,” sneered the goat as he walked away. Turning away, just before a bale of hay fell besides the fire.
Finally, the irate goat tailed the sheep and watched him shut the window, on the roof of the barn. After the sheep had walked away, the goat went back in and pulled open the window. “The fact that you can open and close windows, does not make you better than me.” He raged again, bleating so loudly that the hawk heard him.
“I wonder if the window on the roof is open. Since I can hear the bleating of the goat so clearly,” the hawk wondered in its hiding place. “How I hunger for fowl tonight. I will go and see, if indeed an open window awaits me.” The hawk decided lustfully.
So dear reader, in this interactive and democratic blog. You have the power to decide and choose the outcome, from the following three scenarios:
First Scenario: The birds cannot lay anymore eggs, because of starvation and they die off gradually. Which sends the whole farm into starvation also and a gradual death. The goat included.
Second Scenario: The fallen bale of hay, eventually rolls into the burning wood that the goat re-lit and burns down the whole farm. Even the goat, could not escape the fire.
Third Scenario: The hawk comes into the barn and grabs one bird. And then thinks to himself; “This was very easy. I should pay the farmer back for keeping the chickens from me.” So before he flies out with his prey, he kicks the waiting bale of hay into the burning wood. And thus setting the entire farm, on fire. None escaped, not even the stubborn goat.
