A Favorite Neighbor
This guy is one of my favorite neighbors but I don’t even know his name. Three goats live behind Athens Drive High School. They are called Bonzo, Bean, and Pinto and I can only tell which one is Bean because his chocolate brown coloring is distinct from the other two’s spotted gray and tan look. The trio dwell near a hen house and assist teenagers with agricultural education.
I’m always on the lookout for favorite neighbors in District D. Say hello if you see me around.
