The Hubris Of A Goat Leads To A Tragic End
So it happened that one day Goat and Giraffe were walking down a path together when they came to a mountain. A sign said that at the summit there was a magical treasure. Both Goat and Giraffe very much wanted to find this treasure.
"Alas," cried Giraffe, "I could never climb a mountain like this. My legs are too long."
"I will find this treasure and bring it down to you." And so Goat climbed proudly to the summit.
Unfortunately, once there, Goat discovered that the treasure was at the top of a tree. He cried bitterly at the irony.
