Animals in a Boma

After not really doing much besides reading for the past couple of days I felt the need to go back out there to do interviews.  So this morning I talked to Samwell about going out to recruit more.  At 9:00AM we set off to visit more Bomas across the road from Zion and deeper into the country away from the road.  We walked for some time in the dry morning heat until coming upon a Boma.  The kids brought us small, short wooden chairs to sit on in the shade as Samwell negotiated with the women there for interviewing.  There were many animals running around young and old chickens and goats, puppies and hens, sheep and one very old looking goat. 

A dead baby goat rested its head in the shade against the hut to our left.  Samwell told us that it died of some disease after the people of the Boma ‘injected it with medicinces.’  Its fur was an even distribution of brown and white and it was quite small.  I had already felt sorry for it, but even worse when its other young friend ambled into the shade where it laid.  This one was mostly brown, with darker brown splotches of fur along its side, and it was small.  He walked up behind his friend, unaware of the very conception of death, sniffing at it.  He continued to sniff up the torso of his friend/brother/sister/whatever until reaching its neck.  He then stood in the small place between the dead and the plastered outer wall of the hut, looked around and shifted his awkward body into a laying position parallel to his friend, slinking one hoofed front leg around its neck.  It was terribly sad.
