The Colt Raised by Goats

Angebote / Angebote:

This is a heart warming story of a colt from Pennsylvania, raised by goats. The colt grew up to be a stallion (bronco) quite adept at climbing mountains with the best of the goats. This story begins in the backyard of 54 Perfect Street, the last street between Wilkes-Barre and Ashley Pennsylvania. The mountains frequented by goats are directed behind the house. Perfect Street is so close to the wooded areas of PA that a number of animals frequent the backyard and seem to enjoy the gentle hills in the yard. For the vigilant, the very same animals that are seen outside the back window during all seasons are also spotted close to the mountains where the goats frequently visit. Occasionally, the neighbors will spot a full grown bronco on the lower side of the mountains. It isn't often that wild horses are spotted and so when a neighbor spots a bronco, all the other neighbors learn about it lickety-split. It sure is fun to see. Our story begins in this section of the lower mountain just beyond Prefect Street. There had been no bronco sightings for several years before this day. There were always a ton of backyard animals in the backyard of the Perfect Street residence. Some of the kids in the neighborhood swear they would talk to the backyard animals at times. They said there were conversations among the animals and also with the kids. I was never fortunate enough to overhear or be part of such conversations. But the kids always told me about the topics they talked about. So, it was like being there. On a particular day in the fall, the animals spotted a horse truck on the side of the mountain. The driver stopped and got out and he took a really fat mare out for what looked like a walk. The mare soon collapsed. That's the real beginning of this story.
