Where is
Goat?
One
morning Tortoise crawled out of his hole and went to the
river for a drink. He saw his friends, Raven and Rat, waiting there with
unhappy faces.
"What's
wrong?" said Tortoise?
"Goat's
late," answered Rat.
"Goat
is never late," said Tortoise.
"I'll
go up in the sky and see if I can see him," said Raven.
"We'll
stay here," said Tortoise and Rat.
TO THE RESCUE!
Once Tortoise, Rat,
and Raven had left the riverbank, Rat and Raven took flight. One thing that was
crazy was that rat was riding Raven like horse! Suddenly Rat could see
something in a net. So Raven glided down to check it and saw that it was
goat! He had been caught in a hunter's net! Rat quickly gnawed through the net
and set goat free. Next minute tortoise was puffing beside them.
"Oh Tortoise you shouldn't be here it is
not safe!"
Goat, Raven and Rat
ran but Tortoise couldn't keep up with them...and the hunter caught him and put
him in his hunting bag.
Goat Gets
Away
The hunter found that the goat was gone and
his net was ruined. Rat and Raven quickly escaped from the hunter. The
hunter decided to eat tortoise soup instead. He thought that tortoise
soup would be good to eat. Goat made a plan to rescue tortoise...
Tortoise Soup
Goat had an idea!
Goat would lead the hunter away from
tortoise who was trapped in the hunter's bag.
Goat raced towards the hunter and she hobbled
in front of him. The hunter said, " There's that goat and she's
hurt. Now I can catch her easily."
Rat was biting the rope on the hunter's bag,
then tortoise was free as a bee! When the hunter came back he saw the
bag was empty.
"Oh no! No tortoise soup and no goat
either!" said the hunter.
The next day at the river goat and
tortoise said to the Rat and Raven, "Thank-you for saving us!"
Rat
and Raven said, "Good friends always help each other."
