The Goat and The Hole

Today was an interesting day by far. You see a friend of mine, Jacob, and I were out in the back 40 taking stock of our crops. Suddenly, Jacob, fell crashing to the ground waist high into a large hole. After I helped him out and checked him over for any injury we started to wonder where exactly the hole went. Jacob suggested we should throw a rock into it and see how deep down the hole went. We did, and after listening intently for a while we didn't hear the rock hit the bottom. Well, I figured we could try a larger rock to see if we were going about it all wrong. So we both lifted a larger rock we had laying to the side of the field. Again, after listening a while, we heard nothing. Frustrated, we decided we needed something much larger as, obviously, this hole was definitely a deep one as far as holes go. With that Jacob went out into the woods and came back a short while later with an old railroad tie. With that we heaved her down the hole and waited. A few seconds later a small goat came running by and jumped head first into the hole. It really shocked us something bad to see a goat running fast and jumped into this hole. About half an hour later this older fella came and asked us if we had seen a goat come by us. So we figured we had better tell him about the goat that jumped down the hole earlier. He told us though that there was no way that it couldn't have been his goat running that fast much less jumping down a hole since he was tied to a railroad tie. I'm begining to really wonder about that one though.
