The Roguish Goat There lived a grandma and a grandpa. Once the grandpa went to the fair and bought a goat.
He took the goat home and the next day early in the morning the grandpa sent his elder son to graze the goat.
The boy was grazing the goat until the late evening and drove her home. As he drove her to the gates, the grandpa was standing near the gates in the red boots and asked:
- My dear goat, my lovely goat! Have you eaten? Have you drunk?
- No, grandpa. I have not eaten, I have not drunk: I was running on the bridge and only snapped a maple leaf, I was running on the dam and only took a gulp of water, - and that is all I ate and drank!
The grandpa became angry with his son because the latter was taking a bad look after the goat and banished his son from his sight.
The next day the grandpa sent the other son - the younger one. The boy was grazing the goat until the late evening and drove her home.
The grandpa was standing near the gates in the red boots and asked:
- My dear goat, my lovely goat! Have you eaten? Have you drunk?
- No, grandpa, I have not eaten, I have not drunk: I was running on the bridge and only snapped a maple leaf, I was running on the dam and only took a gulp of water, - that is all I ate and drank!
