The Tale of the Capricorn and the Shepherd
In a green forest there lived a goat and her baby goat. This kid's name was Snow. Every day in the forest, Snow played games, ate grass and ran from place to place without stopping.
One morning Snow left the farm to play. He started running in the forest, and suddenly he smelled the smell of strawberries. He immediately went in the direction of the smell and started eating strawberries. Snow ate so much that he didn't realize he was running away from the forest. Snow, who was very full, could not walk, so he lay down on the ground and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was too late and it was almost dark. He couldn't remember which way he came to the forest, so he decided to take the first path he could remember. He kept walking for a very long time, but he could not find his farm. Snow could not find his way to the farm, but he saw a different farm. Meanwhile, the shepherd, who was standing on the farm, saw the goat coming. The shepherd immediately came out and asked, “Where did you come from, little boy, what are you doing here?” Snow said, “I lost my father, I can't find my way.” The shepherd said, “Don't worry, we will find him, but this is not right, you should not have left the farm without telling your father. But now the first thing we have to do is to find your family. First you need to eat some food and when it is light we will go to the forest and look for your family.” Snow thanked the shepherd very much for what he had done. He immediately ate and fell asleep, he was very scared and tired during this journey. Early in the morning, Snow and the shepherd set out to look for the goat's family. The shepherd was giving cotton some water with the water bowl he had brought with him. After traveling a long way, they came to the entrance of the forest. The shepherd asked, “Don't you remember the way to the farm, Snow?” Snow said, “I think I'm starting to remember, we should get out of here” and they followed the path.
After a long journey, Snow joyfully pointed to his farm, saying, “This is it.” The shepherd knocked on the door of the farm, and when the father Goat opened the door, he saw his baby. “Snow, where are you? I searched for you until the morning, I was so tired that I came home in the hope that you might come back.” Snow said, “I'm so sorry, Dad, I regret it so much. I went out of the forest while eating strawberries and I couldn't find my way back. But this shepherd helped me, if it wasn't for this shepherd I wouldn't have found the farm.” Father Goat thanked the shepherd very much. The shepherd said, “Don't ever get separated from your father, what you went through was very bad, wasn't it Snow? Let this be a good lesson for you.” He said and went back to his farm. Snow was very regretful for this mistake he had made. He never went away from his father again. And this tale ended here.
