The Clumsy Goat

Once upon a time there was a very clumsy mountain goat. He felt bad about himself because while all of his cousins were running up and down mountains, he had to go slowly or else he would fall.

One day he played tag with his cousins. Before long, he was it. As he chased a younger goat, for the first time he forgot himself and felt free, as if he didn’t have a body. The rocks passed right under him.

Until his foot hit a loose rock and he tumbled down the entire hillside, crying before he hit the bottom.
