stubborn goat named Billy. Billy belonged to a kind farmer who loved all his animals. But Billy had one big problem—he never listened.
Every morning, the farmer would say, “Billy, stay inside the fence and eat your grass.”
But Billy would shake his head and say, “No! I want to go where I like.”
One sunny day, Billy saw green grass growing on the other side of the river. “That grass looks sweeter,” he said. The farmer warned him, “Don’t go there. The bridge is old and unsafe.”
But Billy was too stubborn to listen.
“I know what I’m doing!” Billy shouted and ran toward the bridge.
As he crossed, the wooden bridge started shaking. Crack! Crack! Billy became scared. He tried to run back, but one plank broke, and he almost fell into the river.
Luckily, the farmer quickly came and helped Billy get back safely.
Billy felt ashamed. “I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I should have listened to you.”
The farmer smiled and patted Billy’s head. “Sometimes, advice is given to protect us.”
From that day on, Billy was still playful—but he was no longer stubborn.
Moral of the story: Being stubborn can lead to trouble, but listening to wise advice can keep us safe.
