Talking Cow Troubles Family

In a truly strange case out of Zimbabwe, a village chief has been  enlisted to help a family who say that one of their cows has suddenly  begun to talk! The bizarre case began last month when Chief Zimunya was  informed of the weirdness by members of the family who were troubled by  what they were hearing from the creature. "This is a true story of a cow  that talks. Speaking fluently," he told a local media outlet, "I have never heard of a talking cow but this one is really speaking; speaking our mother language."

According to Zimunya, the cow in question is not only talking, but  airing its grievances against the family. Specifically, the chatty  creature has been known to complain about being fed late and not having  enough water to drink. Amazingly, the cow is also said to have  criticized the family's choice of land that is used for their cows to  graze and argues that the pastures provided to the livestock do not  yield sufficient food for the animals.

Rather than rejoice in the fact that they somehow now own a talking cow,  the family has apparently gotten tired of the creature's constant  grumbling. As such, they've asked Zimunya to determine how it acquired  the ability to speak and, more importantly, what can be done to stop it.  For his part, the chief believes he knows the cause of the creature's  newfound ability: witchcraft. "Someone in the family played with black  magic for business enhancement and the chickens are now coming home to  roost," he declared.
