from jack...So how does one go about the purchase of goats, then? Well, one gets them from a market, of course. Yes, but how does one get them back home from said market? Well, one rents a large, flat bed truck, and transports them, of course. Yes, but where do the team members who want to go along to help with the goat purchase and wrangling ride? Well, in the back with the goats, of course. Yes, but what do they sit upon, and where would the seat belts be? Well, you’re in India… don’t ask such silly questions any more.
So, those of us not installing water filters piled into the back of a flat bed truck as we went zipping down the highway, standing in the back of the truck not too unlike goats ourselves and being quite the spectacle for every Indian who saw us. I can only imagine what they must have been thinking as they waved and smiled, but some part of me wondered if some part them was wondering how many Americans would one goat be worth, and which would be the fairer trade.
