Often in Samoa water spouts from the ground, due to the shallow laid pipes in the hard volcanic ground.
On Sunday we returned home to find a baby bull had stood on our water pipe and we had our own mini water spout. It just happens that the Domestic Surf God is excellent at fixing broken pipes. Otherwise our usual 5 tala bill might have doubled!

Once repaired the baby bull continued to tempt fate by venturing towards the now curing pipe.
There was only one option, relocate the bull.
Domestic Surf God bravely unattached the bull from the broken banana tree, which was allowing the bull to cause havoc.
Upon the realisation that he was freed, the bull took off for greener pastures with Domestic Surf God in Tow!
Thankfully when he reached the greener grass he simply stopped and all was well again in Hollywood Boulevade.
The Bull was tied off and luckily we didn't have to face the Samoan farmer to explain how we lost his Baby Bull.
Ha! That DSG! Always trying to rangle large beasties. Wasn't there an incident with a rhino once?
ReplyDeleteIf he had been walking on water as DSG's do, he would have ended up waterskiing!
Hope he has been copping lots of jokes about being led on by a lot of bull!

ReplyDeleteHa Ha, Livestock or kids involved....never a dull moment !
ReplyDeleteThat was a hilarious story, and an eventful day for you. But it’s a good thing “Domestic Surf God” was able to fix the broken pipes. Anyway, you can do some repairs and even add protection for the pipes, so you can prevent damage caused by bulls and other possible threats. Also, make it a habit to check the pipes and maintain it on a regular basis.
