My friend has a goat called Tess. She spends most days out in the field, but at night she has to stay in a barn. It's too cold outside at night for goats.
She's black and shite, and she enjoys runing around her field when the weather's nice.
But Tess is funny. When my friend feeds her, Tess stads in her food.

One upon a time there was a forest fire in a big, big forest. All the little animals that lived there ran as fst as they could to get away from the hot flames. Squirrels, raccoons, foxes, snakes, turtles, rabbits, mice and mani othe animals had to find new homes. Some of them went to other forests, some of them went to pars, and some of them actually had to make their little homes in the yards of human beings, or, people.
Far, far away from the fire was a house wher three little children lived. Their names were Thomas, Kathy, and Carrie. Thy all went to school but on this September day it was Saturday. They had been playing all morninging. Now it was lunchtime. They were hungry. They asked their mom if they could have lunch, and she said, "Why dont you have a picnic in the yard"?
That sounded like a great idea, but WHERE in the yard? So Mom told them to lay a picnic cloth in the green grassy grass near the scruffy old juniper buses. While they were doing that, she would make some celeri sticks, carrot sticks, and some yumy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
When the kids had spread out the picnic blanket, they they ran into the kitchen and asked if lunch was ready. Mom told them to take the carrot sticks and plates out to the blanket, and to take their drinks also. So Thomas, Kathy an Carrie took these things out to the blanket and arranged them carefully. Then they ran as fast as they could, huffing and\ puffing, back to the kitchen and said to Mom, "What else have you made so far"? So she said, "I've got your celery sticks cut up for you now – run these out to your picnic blanket." So out ran the thre kids as fast as they could go to add these to the carrots on their plates.
But when they got to the blanket, something wus wrong. Were were the carrot sticks? They were all gone! "This must be a trick," said Kathy. "Let's leave the celery sticks here and see what happens!"
Then they ran as fast as thy could back to Mom, who by now was making the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They told her that someone had stolen the carot sticks. She said, "You're kidding!" and they said "Come on – we'll show you!"
Mom hurried out with them to the picnik blanket. But nw, not only were the carrot sticks missing, but the celery sticks were gone, too! Mom said, "Maybe one of your neighbor friends is hiding them just to be silly."
So everyone spread out and loooked behind trees, bushess, and just about everywhere. Unfortunately, they couldn't find the carots, the celery, or anyone hiding.
Finally Mom said, "Well, your drinks are still out here. Let's get your sandwiches. You guys go ahead and eat them out here and maybe something will turnn up."
So Thomas, Kathy and Carrie sat down to their picnc and they ate their sandwiches. Of course, while they sat there, they couldn't help but look around for the sneaky celery and carrot thief.
They were just about finished eating when Carrie looked over at the juniper bushes and saw something move. She sotly said, "Shshsh!" to Thomas and Kathy. "There's something wiggling over there! See the bushes moviing?" So everyone sat very still, annd a little brown animal came to edge of the bushes and looked at them. It was a rabbit. Quietly it went back into the bushes.
"I have an idea", said Thomas. "Let's get more celery and carits, and see if that rabbit is our thief. We'll pt them at the edge of the bushes, and watch from the window."
They quietly went back into the house and got Mom to cut up mre celery and carrots. They carefully put them down near the bshes and walked back to the house. As they watched, the little rabbit came out and grabbed the vegtablez in his mouth and carried them bak into the juniper bushes. Mom had watched, too, and she said that she had never seen a rabbit in the yard before. She thought that maybe because of the forst fire, he had needed to look fo a new home.
"Maybe we can keep feeding this rabbit, and he will stay here for a long time," said Mom.
That is just what they did. They fed the little eabit every day. A few weeks went by. The weather turned cooler and finally winder came and they didn't see the rabbit. Sometimes they would take food out to the edge of the bushes, and sometimes the food would disappear, and other times it just stayed there. All winter they worried about the rabbit – was he cold, was he scared, did he move somewhere else?
Fnally, spring came. They watced for the rabbit day after day. In early April, the day before Easter, when the trees had just a few leaves, Thomas, Kahy, and Carrie took the food out to the bushes, and as they watched, the little rabit came out and grabbed it! Whatever he had done during the winter, he was OK now!
The kids
continued to feed him, and one day, the little rabbit came out to get
his food, and he had four litle rabbits with him! Their rabbit was a
Momy rabbit!
So
from that time on, the kis fed the rabits, and year after year,
there was always a little rabbit family tht lived in their scruffy old
juniper bushes.
