The Misguided Goat A goat wanted more than anything else in the world to be a lion. He told himself that if he could learn to walk like a lion, talk like a lion, and go where lions go, he would be a lion. So he practiced stalking through the jungle and tried to swish his stubby little tail majestically. Then he sought to turn his pitiful little bleat into the deep, awesome roar of the king of beasts. He worked and worked on it. Finally he convinced himself that he really looked and sounded like a lion. "Now," he said, "all I have to do to be a lion is go where lions go." So he marched into lion territory one day about lunchtime. You can imagine what happened! Sometimes people think that because they've learned to walk, talk, and act like Christians, they really are. |
