The kids in a row on the dry stone

Spending my last hours at Amorgos, I took the road to say goodbye to Downside, my most beloved family on the island, and of course the dancer who danced with me on the ball small festival of Agia Paraskevi, Vangelitsa Rousou from the unique tavern "in Pyrgos".

On the way I met kids who left their mark on the road, the grunts of the kids and the crows of the crows, but also calves that walked carefree in the middle of the road.

At the turn before we reached Arkesini, in Agios Konstantinos I watched a spectacle that I had seen for the first time and it made a terrible impression on me and created many questions for me.

On a dry stone, the kids started climbing one by one, not to go from field to field, but to finally sit there for at least a quarter, as long as I could watch them. What was it… preparing for goat beauty… walking the catwalk… but they were motionless… showing balance… narcissism and selfishness… desire to stand out…?

I did not have an answer to my question about what was happening in the beginning, until he arrived Paraskevas Roussos and he explained them to me with "ni" and "sigma".

"After eating, the animals growl (rinse) and when it is hot they try to either find shade or find the most well-ventilated place to feel more pleasant. Being on the dry stone, took them away from the warm earth and ventilated better. "

The goats after eating and drinking went up to digest! I believed him, I found it quite reasonable. Besides, the kids belonged to Uncle Nikitas and Paraskevas owned something.

Finally, my learning was rewarded with this prize and of course the smile of Vangelitsa!
