One day, a goat strayed from the herd , and the goatherd was trying to bring him back. The goatherd did everything he could,but the goat paid no attention to him. At last, the goatherd threw a stone at him and accidentally broke his horn . He begged the goat not to tell his master , for the master would punish him for that.
“You are so silly! Even if I keep my mouth shut, my horn will speak anyway,” replied the goat.
