The silence of the lambs….

A Kuwaiti man who bought a sheep for Eid Al Adha from an Asian dealer returned to the market the next day and angrily threw the animal on the dealer, saying it was a fake sheep that stopped bleating and died within hours.

When the man had checked the sheep, the dealer advised him not to waste his time because he had the best livestock in the market.

Instead of having one, the man was encouraged to buy two sheep. He happily took them to his house, tied them in the back garden and went to bed.

“He woke up in the morning and went to take the two sheep for slaughter but he noticed that one sheep is silent and is not bleating…he came close to it and was shocked to see that the sheep was dead,” Alwatan daily said.

“He angrily took the dead sheep to the dealer, threw it on him and nearly attacked him, saying it was a fake sheep….the trader replied that it was destiny and the man has to accept God’s will….a heated argument ensued but police later intervened and supported the dealer’s theory that it was destiny.”
