Miss Goat's House

Author: Sommor Pangyavong

One morning, Miss Goat was grazing in the field. “Why is it is so hot this early in the year?” thought Miss Goat.

“I must find some shade, away from this blazing heat,” thought Miss Goat.

She bit off a lotus leaf and took shelter under it.

But soon, the lotus leaf withered in the heat. Miss Goat tried to take shelter under a banana leaf, but the afternoon sun was so strong that the banana leaf withered too.

Miss Goat ran to the jungle to make a shelter of tree branches.

But, a hot wind blew away all the leaves!

Miss Goat saw some villagers building a house.

“I must learn how to build a strong house like that one,” she thought.

After watching the villagers for a while, Miss Goat knew what she had to do. She gathered tree branches.

She gathered banana leaves.

Miss Goat dug holes for the tree branches.

Then she spread the banana leaves over the tree branches and tied them tightly together. She worked so hard, she was now hotter than ever!

Just as she finished, the hot wind began to blow.

But this time, the wind could not blow the banana leaves away!

Miss Goat settled inside her home.

“I'm not hot any more!” she thought happily. "Now, I just need a nap."
