We (Ram and I) were in another small extremely old town tonight. There were ducks and chickens and roosters just running around, as per usual in Nepal. I just had to ask though being the American I am: "Do the animals belong to someone?"
Ram: "Yes, to families."
Me: "But they just roam around the central area?"
Ram: "Yes."
Me: "And all the people in the town can tell which chicken is theirs?"
(Here is the fun part)
Ram: "Well the chickens actually know where their home is and which is their owner."
Me: "Of course they do."
*Cue getting on motorbike and driving to Durbar Square Pond to eat grilled corn and explain the economic situation of Detroit.*
Ram is right. Chickens always know where to roost. Really. They are like all farm animals, they know where their nest is and where their home is.Good luck explaining Detroit to the family.
