Old Mcdonald

Welcome to Serowe Story Time!

A cow, a goat, and a donkey were riding in a taxi. When the taxi reached the cow’s stop the cow got out, paid her and got the right amount of change.

TO THIS DAY, the cow stands on the side of the road waiting patiently for the next taxi.

When the goat’s stop came, the goat ran out of the taxi not paying anything at all.

TO THIS DAY, whenever a car drives by the goat runs away so that the driver cannot find him and make him pay.

When the taxi came upon the donkey’s stop, he was forced to pay both his fare and the goats fare.

TO THIS DAY, the donkey stands in the middle of the road waiting for the driver to get his change.

Zebras never cross my path, elephants don’t run into cars, and giraffes aren’t looking in the window. Much of Botswana is packed full of farm animals. Village life isn’t complete without seeing goats, cows, donkeys, and chickens. This little folktale shows everyday life here in Serowe, traffic laws hardly apply to drivers and never apply to the animals!

Things are going good. PST is dragging a bit, but in 3 short weeks I will be on my way to my new life in Kang! I’m feeling so ready to get started!
