Light Foot The Leaping Goat PDF Download

Lightfoot stamped his hoofs on the hard rocks, shook his horns, wiggled the little bunch of whiskers that hung beneath his chin, and called to another goat who was not far away: "I'm going up on the high rocks!" "Oh, you'd better not," said Blackie. "If you go up there you may slip and fall down here and hurt yourself, or some of the big goats may chase you back." "Well, if they do I'll just jump down again," went on Lightfoot, as he stood on his hind legs. "You can't jump that far," said Blackie, looking up toward the high rocks which were far above the heads of herself and Lightfoot. For Lightfoot and Blackie were two goats, and they lived with several others on the rocky hillside at the edge of a big city. Lightfoot and Blackie, with four other goats, were owned by the widow, Mrs. Malony. She and her son Mike had a small shanty on the ground in the shadow of the big rocks. The reason they kept most of the goats was for the milk they gave. For some goats, like cows, can be milked, and many persons like goats' milk better than the cows' kind, which the milkman brings to your door every morning, or which is brought to the house from the stable or the lot where the cows are milked if you live in the country.
