goat "I'll tell you where the, are
more goats than you have teeth in your
mouth"
"My. N.Y." exclaimed the wolf,
smacking his lips, "I'll agree TO that"
well" declared the goat, IF you
run up to the top of yonder mountain
you'll see the goats on the other side,
and l am sure there are more there
than you could eat in a month"
So the wolf ran off up the side Of
the mountain, but the farther he ran
the higher the mountain seemed, and
it was very long time before he
reached the top, tired and footsore and
out of breath and more hungry than he
had been before.
And what do you think was the first
thing he saw? A herd of goats. There
must have been 200 of them. They
were grazing peacefully on broad
plain on the other side of the noun
tain.
But what else do YOU suppose? Why,
the other side of the mountain was per
fectly straight up and down, just like
the walls of this room, only as high as
fifty houses placed on top of each 9th
er, and at the foot of this steep cliff
was a broad river that was as swift
as an ocean current Then it was on
the other side of this stream that the
plain lay upon which the goats were
feeding. 1t was impossible for the
wolf to get TO them.
THAT lit goat has played me a
trick" said the wolf sorrowfully.-
