Today’s story concerns what we call goats. They are not goats, of course. They might look identical to the goats we have on our planet, but the evolutionary development of the people of Planet Zamathea has been quite different and apart from looks they have nothing in common with goats on Planet Earth. That was one of the travesties of pioneering interplanetary discovery: long-travelling Earthlings arrived on Zamathea and said “Oh goody! Goat meat!” They slaughtered hundreds of them for food and even tried milking some - a process that didn’t prove to be particularly successful. This episode seems to have left a permanent stigma on the way Earthlings view the people of Zamathea. They still view them as goats and that’s it.
Have no fear! The Zamathean Goats did not evolve yesterday. They have infiltrated the goat farms up and down Earth. (Goats are probably Earth’s most common domestic animal). Of course they haven’t interbred with the local goats; that to them would be repulsive. But they have readied themselves for a takeover. Already every Government Department is being run by puppets of the Zamathean Goats. No one seems to have noticed, although the more discerning may have observed a certain goatliness creeping into administration circles. But soon the Zamathean Goats themselves will take over. They have for sure taken over a number of State Leadership roles. You can tell which ones by those world leaders who refuse to answer reporters’ questions or hold Press Conferences.
We can only look forward to the day the Zamathean Goats take over the whole shebang.
