It was quite different when I went back to my hometown. My father had more than two hundred sheep and goats. My father was very quick to realize that I did not care for animals. I would grumble when he woke me up early in the morning to accompany him to the stables to give salt to the sheep and goats before they went out to graze. He would force me to clean the smelly sores on the animals' hoofs. He made sure that. I fed the cat and dog first before eating my own food.

Some of my father's goats had become very wild. They would run away to other farms and destroy their crops. My father put a rope around each wild goat's neck. Then he brought the goats to us children and asked each of us to tame his or her own goat. How could I tame a wild goat? I went to my father for advice on what to do. He said that I should develop my own methods. I decided to observe others. I realized that the most important things between the other children and their animals was love and confidence. "You have to be gentle with the animal and make it trust in you," one of my brothers explained to me.

Slowly, I realized that each of my brothers and sisters had developed a special language for communicating with their animals. With time I understood that taming the goats was not a collective task. It had become each child's struggle for personal success. And to succeed, each child had to build a personal relationship with his or her goat. In fact, they came to share the best of secrets, the secret of love.

My brothers and sisters gave each of their goats a name. So I named mine Queen. I would take corn in my hands and then invite Queen to come and eat. At first, she would run away whenever I reached my hand toward her. But gradually she began to trust me. I used to enjoy it most when she licked salt from my palms. The cool wetness of her tongue made me feel relaxed. I would slowly caress her back to make her feel more confident in me.

Eventually, Queen understood me even more than my own father did. My father could see that I had changed a lot. He was very happy with me. At Christmas, he bought me a special present that I have cherished ever since. ks5u

Spain says 'Adios' to smoking in bars, cafes

MADRID – Spain, famous for its smoke-filled bars, corner cafes and restaurants, set the stage Wednesday for a tough new anti-smoking law that will rid the country of its doubtful status as one of Western Europe's easiest places to light up.

The bill passed by parliamentary commission calls for transforming all bars and restaurants into no-smoking zones, bringing Spain in line with the European Union's strictest anti-smoking nations and many U.S. states that bar smoking in enclosed public places. It's expected to pass the Senate and become law on Jan. 2.

The law also will make Spain a tougher place to smoke than many other European countries where bars and restaurants are still allowed to have smoking sections, and will forbid smoking in outdoor places such as playgrounds and the grounds of schools and hospitals.

The current law put in place in 2006 prohibits smoking in the workplace, and workers smoking away just outside their office buildings are a common sight.

But that law aimed at cracking down on smoking permitted owners of most bars and cafes to decide on their own whether to allow smoking — and almost all ended up doing so, leading critics to label the earlier law as a total failure.

Those bar and cafe owners will now lose the privilege, and larger restaurants that still have smoking sections will have to get rid of them. Officials predict thousands of lives now lost to secondhand smoke will be saved.
