Namya's mother wants a goat. She's had a dream in which the Mother Goddess has asked for a sacrifice and so Namya, who can't afford to buy a goat, has to find a way of fulfilling his mother's and the divine mother's (presumed) demands. He manages to find a goat, after suffering a fair amount of humiliation. Mother, son and goat then set out to reach the pilgrimage spot where the sacrifice would take place, but the goat is far from an easy travelling companion.
