Our office house is slowly turning into a real animal farm! The plentiful birds are flying in and out of our house while our new cat is naturally doing the same. As soon as you walk out of the door, the cows and goats are there to welcome you, while the dogs are resting in the shade. The donkeys in the area provide an interesting wake-up call and they are also there to wish you a good -IA IA- night as well. But unfortunately one of the young donkeys that was owned by our neighbour had a tragic accident yesterday. Somehow the electricity company had made a 'mistake' and put voltage on one of the cables next to our house. The poor donkey felt like scratching his back against it and died instantly because of the strong electric shock. It was actually also a shock for us to find this animal lying lifeless on the ground, and to realize it could have well been one of the children who often play in this area (-or us?). Hopefully the neighbour will be able to get a new donkey again, as a new source of income. And, besides that, to provide us with our beloved morning wake-up call on our animal farm.
