I used to go mushroom picking in the farms near my house
I was picking mushrooms in field with nothing but grass and single goat when I came across a deep hole in the middle of the paddock. Curious, I dropped a stone down the hole, but couldn't hear it hit the bottom. I noticed a large plank of wood lying nearby. On a whim I dragged it to the hole and toppled it down. While watching it fall, I heard a galloping behind me. I turned to see the goat, head down, horns out, charging straight at me. I just managed to dive out the way as the goat whooshed passed and plunged down the hole. Spooked, I decided to leave, but as I was climbing over the fence the farmer pulled up in his car.
"Pickin' mushrooms, were ya?", he asked
"Yes", I replied, "It's a good time of year for them"
The farmed looked around and asked, "Haven't seen a goat, have ya?"
"Nup", I lied.
"That's odd", he said, scratching his head, "I had 'im on a 30 foot chain to a railway sleeper"

A version of it featured in the TV film 'Hear my song'.
