Go - go - goat

Our watchman has bought 2 goats. They are now tied at the outer side of the main gate of our house. On asking his wife that why are these for, the response was a cool one - that these were for Eid. "Eid" is a festival celebrated a lot in Hyderabad. My kids on the other hand are very eager to know each and every thing about the goats. In 1 day I realized that I need to read an encyclopedia on goats. The questions put forward by them were - what do they eat? how goats sleep? where is there tummy? why are they eating all the time? How can they jump from such height? why are they not talking? do they drink bournvita milk?

                               Kids have an indefatigable appetite for knowledge and they are very curious about animals. They would like to know about our nature a lot however in today's urban world we see very less part of the Earth's zoology and botany. For them to know more about the nature and animals and plants they will need to make special trips to rural areas or zoos.
