In brief: Mr. Martin’s missing hay bales have caused quite a scandal in the peaceful village of Saint-Pern. His goat, Biquette, is in the hot seat.
In the small village of Saint-Pern, the peaceful daily life of the inhabitants has recently been disrupted by a series of rather unusual events. Mr. Martin, a farmer by trade, reported the mysterious disappearance of several hay bales from his farm. Suspicions quickly centered around Mr. Martin’s goat, Biquette, who seems to have developed an insatiable appetite for hay.
Despite her modest size, Biquette is known for her growing appetite. “It’s incredible, I’ve never seen a goat eat so much hay in such a short time,” said Mrs. Dubois, Mr. Martin’s neighbor, who claimed to be a witness to several incidents of excessive hay consumption by Biquette.
Mr. Martin has been trying to solve the mystery for several days now, while trying to protect the rest of his hay. He has decided to install surveillance cameras around his field and plans to recruit local volunteers to watch Biquette. “It’s an absurd situation,” said Mr. Martin, clearly frustrated. “I never thought I would have to protect my hay from my own goat. I would have thought it would be hay thieves, but no, it’s Biquette who’s guilty!”
However, some residents of Saint-Pern do not share Mr. Martin’s opinion and fiercely defend the goat. According to them, Biquette is just responding to her natural instincts and should not be punished for that. The dispute around Biquette’s guilt has divided the village, turning what was once a peaceful community into a battleground for goat rights.
In this context, one thing is certain: the scandal of the missing hay bales will continue to fuel conversations in Saint-Pern for quite some time.
