Saturday morning arrives. God father with his pickup truck drives into the camp and picks up few of the Georges to head out in search of billy goat. Why billy ?? Billy is considered to be a smaller goat, convinces the father. The rest of the herds are instructed to arrive at the goat farm. Eleven ghorkhalis chase the running goat, and hand it to the father. Father pulls out a shot-gun and fires on the head of the goat. This is when the planning of thauko-ko-jhol stopped. There was no more planning of the head soup. The plan still proceededýHow shall the goat be cleaned? One of the senior member insisted of carrying it to the camp. The rest agreed to it. On a little pot, water started to boil while the goat rested in the bath tub. The herdýs uncle led the way. He was pulling the hairs out as others were planning on the ýchala vaeko masuý. No, telling how many time the pot was refilled to boil. Every once in a while, one would butt in scaring the herd about visitation by the uncles from the nearby station. This would quiet the herd, but the task would continue. Discussions, about US FDA would be brought in. then, someone would bring in Nepali buthcherýs story. But, the herd still missed the head.

Masu, is being heated on the stove, allies are heated with topics. Booze continuesý.. Now! Allies, decides which allies should be considered superior. Historical performances are shared. Ancestors! Names are introduced, but the top allies could not be decided. So, one of the brave ghorkha decides to show his bravery. He pulls out the famous knife, and flashes of moves to show the superiority. This did get everyoneýs attention. The herd members decided to scatter their leaders. Uncle, from neighboring station arrived to inquire the situation. The situations were calmed and most of the herd members were already in their dreamland. Most of the brothers too had followed this pattern. Now, only the herdýs uncle along with few member were sharing the thoughts about adding more salt or khursaniko dhulo. Whats this smell in this masuýýýýýýýýý
