Two men were walking through the woods when they came across a big deep hole.
'Wow
... that looks deep,' says one. 'Let's toss a few pebbles in and see
how deep it is.' They threw in a few pebbles and waited, but there was
no sound.
'Gee - that is a really deep
hole. Let's throw one of these big rocks in. That should make a noise.'
They picked up two football-sized rocks and tossed them into the hole
and waited, but still they heard nothing.
'There's a railway sleeper over here in the weeds,' said one. 'If we toss that in, it's definitely going to make some noise.'
They dragged the heavy sleeper over to the hole and heaved it in, but not a sound came from the hole.
Suddenly,
out of the nearby woods, a goat appeared, running like the wind.
It
rushed towards the two men and ran right between them, running as fast
as its legs could go. Then it leaped into the air and disappeared into
the hole.
The two men stood there,
astonished at what they'd just seen.
Out of the woods came a farmer who
said, 'Hey! Did you guys see my goat?'
'You bet we did! It was the
craziest thing we've ever seen! It came running like the wind out of the
woods and jumped into that hole!'
'Nah,' says the farmer. 'That couldn't have been my goat. My goat was chained to a railway sleeper!'
