Three goats

Ahmed Mohamed Sheikh

I became very happy when you told the story about three goats because I own three goats at home. I used to take them to the bush every Saturday and Sunday when there was no school and anytime I had free. I used to enforce that they graze well and when I bring them back to home they provide me milk which I really sometimes drink and add to the tea.
