Saturday, December 6/2008

Coming back from the internet cafe I see a young woman in a hijab with a sheep on a rope lead. She's talking to a young man and also trying to persuade the sheep to come along with her, but the sheep is having none of it, digging in its hooves as she tugs and backing away like a dog trying to slip its collar. A cruising yellow taxi passes and the woman pjuts up a tentative hand. The taxi slows, then the driver seems to size up the situation and speeds away. Can she really have been going to try to force the sheep into the cab?
