Rats Eat Away Ethiopian Farmer's Life Savings
Rats Eat Away Ethiopian Farmer's Life Savings
An Ethiopian farmer who stashed his life savings of more than 12,000 dollars in a haystack has lost almost one-third of it to rats who gnawed it away. The 52-year-old farmer from central Ethiopia preferred the straw pile thinking it was safer -- worried about losing his riches in case a fire broke out in his house. "Some 35,000 (3,804 dollars) of the 114,000 birr (12,391 dollars) which was hidden by a farmer in hay near his house was devoured by rats," the Ethiopian News Agency reported. The man apparently spurned repeated advice to use a bank, and only found out three weeks later that he had lost part of his stash to the rats. No word whether the farmer has changed his 'banking method' after the rat raid. |
