I heard a fun story yesterday from my Okada driver (Okadas are a motorcycle version of a taxi service). It turns out that the Kuranko people have a story to explain why goats don't like to go in the water - which is actually true, they DO NOT like to go in water.
At the beginning of the world, God made all the land creatures and then started to make the creatures that live in the water. He told the land creatures that they were to be separate from the water creatures and therefore they needed to cover their eyes while he created the water creatures. The goat decided to be smart and peek between his cloven hooves. So, he watched as God created the alligator, hippopotamus, whale and many other fearsome creatures. Because of that, while other animals will wade in and cross a river, the goat absolutely refuses. He says, "I know what is in there and I don't want to have anything to do with it."
Just an interesting tidbit for the day. Hope it made you smile!
