Different



You know how in America we keep our livestock in pastures with a fence around it to keep them from running away or being stolen? In Russia, I found that you build fences to keep livestock out. This means cows, pigs, and sheep are all walking around like they own the place. If you want to keep them out of your garden, put a fence around it. They probably have a similar concept in Ireland, because in every Irish movie, there are sheep that block the road. I once asked a Russian about this and how people keep track of their animals. How come you aren't afraid of people stealing your livestock? The response: they know where to come home to eat! Even if someone stole a cow, that cow would go home to its original owner to eat that night and sleep.

But what happens when they take over the bus stop and convert it to a manger?
