So, a couple goat-kids went up a mountain and got themselves stuck after a long traverse. They were just up there freaked out and yelling, and the herd was yelling. Um Laith and Um Salem tried a lot of things to get them down, like throwing rocks, and positioning the herd nearer or farther. At one point one of the goats ran over and hung out at the base of the cliff yelling at the kids. One of them essentualy jumped off the edge, but the others wouldn't folllow. It took forever, but eventually they remaining two went back the way they came. I tried to ask how often this happens, but failed.
The romanticized idea of a shepherd rescuing the stray sheep seems pretty ridiculous now. Really, the idea that a human could get anywhere a goat couldn't get down from is pretty much absurd.
