“I went straight to the control tower and demanded to see the airport manager. In Somalia, it is the custom to pay a man double the market price if you accidentally kill his beast. I had the price of two goats in my hand before the plane had finished taxiing back to the terminal.”
“What luck!” I cried. “What did you do with the money?”
“I went to the market, of course, and bought two goats…”
