The Talking Goat
In a small village, there lived a man named Baba Musa, who prided himself on being the smartest person in town. He always had an answer for everything, and no one could outsmart him—at least, that’s what he thought.
One day, a farmer named Alhaji brought a goat to the village market. But this was no ordinary goat. This goat had a mischievous streak and could mimic human speech perfectly. Alhaji decided to sell it because it wouldn’t stop talking during the night, keeping his whole family awake.
When Baba Musa saw the goat, he smirked. "A talking goat? What nonsense! Animals don't talk!"
The farmer grinned. "This one does. Want to try?"
Baba Musa scoffed. "Fine! How much is the goat?"
"10,000 naira," the farmer said.
Baba Musa laughed. "10,000 for a goat? I'll give you 5,000."
The goat suddenly turned its head and said, "Really, Baba Musa? You can spend 20,000 on those ugly shoes, but I’m only worth 5,000?"
The crowd burst into laughter. Baba Musa's jaw dropped. "It talks?! This is witchcraft!"
The goat tilted its head. "Witchcraft? No, it's called talent, old man. Unlike you, I actually entertain people!"
Now the entire market was in hysterics. Baba Musa, feeling embarrassed, handed over 10,000 naira and took the goat home.
That night, as Baba Musa sat with his new goat, he whispered, “If you can really talk, let’s make money together. I’ll take you to cities, and we’ll perform!”
The goat sighed. "I don't work weekends. And if you don’t give me three square meals a day, I’ll tell everyone about the time you fell into the village pond trying to catch a fish."
Baba Musa froze. “How do you know about that?”
The goat winked. "Let’s just say… I’ve got my sources."
From that day forward, Baba Musa became the goat’s assistant—and the goat? It became a legend.
