started to lower her and when she

the same thing over and over

were so long and shiny He could
run faster, jump higher and butt
harder than any goat he ever met
in all his travels, so that wherever
Billy went he very soon became a
leader, though he often had to
fight before the other goats found
out that they had far better mind
than take the consequences OF dis
obedience.
He was saved from being a bully,
conceited and cruel, by a kind
heart and sunny disposition. AS
soon as he succeeded in establish

of abusing his power by taking the

would protect and help the weak,
kindly look after the little kids and
always see that the old goats were
fed before he ate himself.
1t was sorry day for any dog
who bothered the flock when Billy
Whiskers was around. Many a one
went bowling home after Billy got
through with him. Small boys, too,

direction. Probably there are as
