- There was once a man who wanted his house thatched. When he went to thatch it he found it was almost impossible to do so. At last he thought of a plan. He put the goat up on the house to eat the grass. In the evening when he went to get the goat to milk her, he could only reach her tail. So he pulled and pulled until he pulled the tail out of the goat. If the goat's tail had been stronger, my story would have been longer.
