Once upon a time, there was a little village where a tradition was to taunt each other on their birthdays. One year, a mischievous goat named Billy was born. He loved to harass and make fun of others.

One day, while Billy was walking in the fields, he saw an ominous cloud forming above his head. Suddenly, water started gushing out of the irrigation channels and drenching him.

"Great, just what I needed," Billy muttered sarcastically. But then, he hesitantly realized that the water was actually making him clean and refreshed. He decided to embrace the water and have some fun with it.

From that day on, every year on his birthday, Billy would proudly soak himself in the irrigation water and share his newfound love for it with the others, taunting them to join in the fun. And so, the tradition of taunting on birthdays transformed into a celebration of joy and cleanliness!
