A very greedy goat wreaks havoc in the barnyard in an entertaining
cautionary tale from Petr Horácek.
Goat is tired of always eating herbs and grass. She wants to try
something new! So one day she embarks on a tasting spree, trying the
dog's food, the pig's potato peels, and more, with the farmer's
underpants topping off a massive meal. Pretty soon, everyone else around
the farm starts to notice that certain things have gone missing --
including a now elusive Goat herself. It turns out that all that
adventurous eating has left her feeling quite ill, prompting a recovery
that plays out with a nod to another (very hungry) children's favorite:
"On Monday, her eyes stopped rolling. On Tuesday, her tummy stopped
rumbling. . . ." After Goat is finally feeling like herself again,
surely she'll have learned her lesson. Won't she?
