THE PET GOAT
A girl got a pet goat. She liked to go running with her pet goat. She played with her pet goat in
her house. She played with her pet goat in her yard.
But the goat did some things that made the girl's dad mad. The goat ate things. He ate cans
and he ate canes. He ate pans and he ate panes. He even ate capes and caps.
One day her dad said, "That goat must go. He eats too many things."
The girl said, "Dad, if you let the goat stay with us, I will see that he stops eating all those
things."
Her dads said, "We will try it."
So the goat stayed and the girl made him stop eating cans and canes and caps and capes.
But one day a car robber came to the girl's house. He saw a big red car near the house and
said, "I will steal that car."
He ran to the car and started to open the door.
The girl and the goat were playing in the backyard. They did not see the car robber.
THE GOAT STOPS THE ROBBER (next story in the series)
A girl had a pet goat. Her dad had a red car.
A car robber was going to steal her dad's car. The girl and her goat were playing in the back
yard.
Just then the goat stopped playing. He saw the robber. He bent his head down and started to
run for the robber. The robber was bending over the seat of the car. The goat hit him with his
sharp horns. The car robber went flying.
The girl's dad ran out of the house. He grabbed the robber. "You were trying to steal my car," he
yelled.
The girl said, "But my goat stopped him."
"Yes," her dad said. "That goat saved my car."
The car robber said, "Something hit me when I was trying to steal that car."
The girl said, "My goat hit you."
The girl hugged the goat. Her dad said, "That goat can stay with us. And he can eat all the cans
and canes and caps and capes he wants."
The girl smiled. Her goat smiled. Her dad smiled. But the car robber did not smile. He said, "I
am sore."
