As is in Shri Sai Satcharita, by Hemadpant .. Chapter XLVI Page 237

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

Baba was, once, returning from Lendi, when He saw a flock of goats.  Two of them attracted His attention.  He went to them, caressed and fondled them and bought them for Rs. 32/-.  The devotees were surprised at this conduct of Baba.  They thought that Baba was duped in this bargain, as the goats would fetch Rs. two each, at the most Rs. 3/- or 4/- each, ie.e., 8/- for both.  They began to take Baba to task for this, but Baba kept calm and cool.  Shama and Tatya Kote asked Baba for an explanation.  He said, He should not store money, as He had no home, and any family to look after.  He asked them to purchase, at His cost, 4 seers of dal; (lentil) and feed the goats.  After this was done, Baba returned the goats to the owner of  the flock and gave out the following reminiscences and story of the goats.

Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all
