Greedy Goat

Written by: Asma Kakar

Once upon a time, there was a goat, Shaakh Tizak living with her two friends, Safidak and Ablaqak in a forest.

One day Shaakh Tizak sitting in a pasture and was crying. A colt saw her and asked about her trouble. Shaakh Tizak said that there is no taste in the grass. The colt said that it is very tasty. Shaakh Tizak cried loudly and said that the grass was tasty when I and my other friends were together and now they are angry with me and gone.

The colt asked the reason of their sadness. Shaakh tizak said: one day we decided to go to a pasture. I reached before them. I did not let them graze with me. They became sad and went to another pasture. Later on, I asked them to come and graze with me too. They returned but as I had smashed the grass, they did not eat.

We promised to go to another pasture next day. I did the same action as the other day. They became angry with me and left me alone. I am very regretful for what I have I done.

The colt promised that he would help her in this issue and went to Safidak’s and Ablaqak’s houses.

Shaakh Tizak was crying and saying that grass has no taste without friends; greediness caused her loneliness. Her friends arrived with colt. Shaakh Tizak asked excused from them and they all started again their life together. Shaakh tizak thanked the colt for the rescuing her from loneliness.
