One for animal lovers

curious bystander

A hiker was crossing a field and came upon an old mine. Wondering how deep it was he threw a small pebble into the shaft. He couldn't hear anything
so got a bigger rock and threw that down. He still couldn't hear it hit the bottom. Looking round there was an old bath nearby and so he decided to tip that over the edge.
It was very heavy but he managed to drag it across the field and heave it over the edge. He heard it banging the sides as it descended but was then aware of something behind him. Turning round he saw a goat running straight towards him and just managed to dodge out of the way at the last second before the unfortunate animal fell down the mine. He then heard a rumble deep in the earth and thought "that's a deep one"
Continuing his walk he bumped into the farmer in the next field who asked him if he had seen a goat. Thinking quickly he said he hadn't.

Not to worry said the farmer, he can't have gone far - I left him securely tethered to a cast iron bath.
