It depicts three friends, Goat, Dog, and Cow, embarking on a journey in a taxi. Upon reaching their destination, the taxi driver requests payment for the fares. Cow diligently pays her fare. Dog, lacking the exact change, pays a bit extra. However, just as the driver is about to give Dog his change, Goat flees without paying, leaving the driver frustrated. This act of dishonesty explains why, to this day, Dog eagerly approaches cars, searching for the driver who owes him change. Conversely, Goat shies away from cars, fearing arrest for her unpaid fare. Cow, having paid her fare in full, remains unbothered by approaching vehicles and crosses the road at her own pace, secure in her financial responsibility. The narrative attributes the distinct behaviors of these animals towards vehicles to this singular event, offering a whimsical explanation rooted in a shared taxi ride and an unpaid fare.","Fabian Wakholi · Marleen Visser English  \n1  \nGoat, Dog and Cow were great friends .
