Buddy and the Goat
Dyan Beyer
Buddy, the horse, and a goat live together on a farm. Buddy thought the goat was his friend until he started lying to him. The lies got more hurtful, and Buddy lost his trust towards the goat. He tried to tell the goat that lying wasn’t a good trait but the goat just kept telling lies. When the goat realizes that no one likes or trusts him, he decides to ask Buddy some questions. Buddy takes the time to explain to the goat that when you lie you lose friendships, and you become unworthy of trust. Buddy continues to say that God doesn’t want you to be unhappy, but he also does not want you to lie! Buddy tells goat that lying is a sin and if you want a better life, then change your ways. Finally, the goat takes Buddy’s advice, and his life is turned around for the best.
