One up on a time, there was a man called kulang, He lives in southern Sudan now called South Sudan, a country that gained independent from Sudan in 2011. The man is well known for his hard work, on top of that, he is a very glutinous man. During the liberation struggle with the Northern Sudanese mainly Arabs, the guerilla fighters will come in the neighborhood asking the resident for foods, goats and cows. The guerrilla fighters stormes Mr Kulang home asking for goats and cows, Kulang didn't hesitate to give them what they wants, but little do they know that, kulang does not give his foods nor livestock. It's only known by the neighborhoods that the man is too stingy to help an hungry dying soul.

Once the soldiers (Guerilla fighters) left with their goats and cows, he (kulang) cried and swear that the next time the guerilla fighters come to the neighborhood asking for foods ~ he will fight them or do necessary trucks to protect his properties. Kulang was a very wealthy man through his hard work, it did not took long for the guerilla fighters to come targeting the neighborhood where kulang lives, kulang saw them approaching his homestead. This time kulang will tolerate the guerilla fighters, he called his wife to prepare for him outdoors cooking materials. Up on the arrival of the guerilla fighters, before they open their mouth asking kulang for his contribution to the armed struggle, he ask them first "you again, you come to the very same house that give you goats and cows? " The guerilla fighters said "yes, and this time we have come not only to pick a goat 🐐 but also take your grains" He kulang ordered his wife to come along with outdoors cooking materials. He told the guerilla fighters "my children, as you can see my wife and I have been officially recruited into the armed struggle fighting Arabs for our liberation, so am not going to give you even a single goat, leave alone the grains, as you can see we just made our home the barrack and no trace passing is allowed in our Barrack" They guerilla fighters got chocked and threaten to use force should kulang refused to comply with their orders. One of the guerilla fighters asked kulang to voluntarily give the goat the pointed at. Kulang had no other choice but to comply with the hungry guerilla fighters, but this time use his skills and brain as a real stingy man. "Well my children, I will give you a goat but not the one you finger pointed because I love that goat so much" Kulang said with a long face in horse voice! He finger pointed several goats to suggest the soldier to pick one out of the goats he finger pointed. Relentlessly, the soldiers refused to the offer and insist to take the goats they first pointed out. It's become a battle between them. There is one thing the two parties will never agree on. The goat is the fattest goat among the goats and the secrets is "both parties involved in negotiations like fat meats" The guerilla fighters signal warning signs of force, kulang look at his wife helplessly. He asked his wife for her opinion on the only fat goat being taken "Nyachom, my wife! What do you thing about the goat?, I think the goat is pregnant with an Arab, the enemy they have been fighting for, let them take the goat, maybe they will will find their enemy inside the goat once they slaughtered it" Nyachom did not say a word but to agree with her husband.

Surprisingly, the guerrilla fighters bust out of laughter. They told kulang "we are not going to take your goat, you are a real stingy man"

Kulang felt relief and wave to them and say "my children, good luck in your struggle, your liberation is costing me heavily"........................

The story to be continued in part two.
