- The Goat (A Local Funny Story of the Storm) It happened there was a goat grazing near the river Leimawadra when the thunder storm of August 1898 was there. Suddenly she noticed that she was surrounded with water, and no way to escape from drowning.
About three yards from her she noticed a stook of wheat still standing. In another moment she was standing on top of it Soon she noticed the stook and herself moving swiftly down the river
