The Wise Goat
One
day a goat was feeding on the top
of a high cliff. There was very little
grass on the cliff. The goat looked down
into the field where the grass was fresh
and sweet.
A wolf stood in the green, grassy field.
He looked up at the goat on the cliff.
"Come down, little goat," he called
sweetly. "Come down and eat some of
this fresh grass."
"No, no," said the wise goat, "I would
rather have a poor dinner up here than
make a good dinner for you down in that
green and grassy field."
