Goose on the loose

One morning when we woke up we found a beautiful goose in our yard, just standing there!  We suggested to our workers that they catch it and see which of our neighbors it might belong to.  However, they were wary of doing that because, due to the dishonesty here, someone might have claimed ownership falsely.  They didn't want us to get in trouble with the community.  A goose like this is worth a few hundred quetzales, or about $20-$30, which is a lot of money here.  So instead, our workers tried to chase it out the gate.  After a funny scene of grown men chasing a goose, it decided to fly up to the ridge of our kitchen building!  It disappeared after a while, so we hope it found its way home!
