That man had been selling ostrich meat buns for three days before anyone noticed something was amiss.
At first, a few people who had eaten the buns remarked that the meat didn't taste like ostrich; the flavor was different. But since it tasted better than actual ostrich meat and wasn't expensive, they didn't think much of it. They only mentioned it casually in conversation, and nobody took it seriously.
The realization that something was terribly wrong—that a major crisis was unfolding—came when someone bit into a meat bun and found a section of a human finger bone, complete with a fingernail. That made it instantly recognizable: it was a human finger bone, not anything from an animal!
