Once upon a time, there was a group of goats who lived on a mountain. They liked to eat fresh grass and drink clean water. They were healthy and had gentle personalities. One day, they decided to make a goat with a beard the leader. This goat was special because it had a long beard that provided warm wool for them all to wear during cold nights on the mountain. They all agreed that this goat was the best choice to lead them. So every day, they followed the goat with the beard as they roamed the mountain, looking for fresh food to eat. They were happy and healthy, living a good life on the mountain with their leader, the goat with the beard.

Reflections

1. Why did the goats elect a bearded goat to be their leader?
2. What did the bearded goat provide for the other goats?
3. How did the goats feel about their leader?
4. How did the goats help each other on the mountain?
5. Why was it important for the goats to be healthy?
