Once upon a time, there was a young goat. He was very naughty and curious. He used to run here and there out of curiosity and the poor goatherd had to search for him and bring him back. One day, as usual, the goat went exploring. “Oh no! That naughty goat is missing again! Where has he gone now?” cried the angry goatherd. He found the goat and blew his whistle to bring him back. But the goat did not listen. Angry, the goatherd threw a stone at the goat. The stone hit the goat’s horn, which broke into two pieces. The goatherd got scared that his master would get angry at him for breaking the horn. So, he said to the goat, “Do not tell the master that I broke your horn.” The goat said, “You fool, I won’t have to say a thing. The broken horn will tell on its own!”
Moral: Do not hide things which cannot be hidden.
