Brave Goat

Once upon a time there was a brave, goat whose name was Buzak Chini. Buzak Chini had three sons, called Angak, Bangak and Kulula Sangak. The brave Buzak Chini used to reach green meadows every day to gather grass for her sons. One day, feeling that something may happen to her kids when she was away and the wolf might have come, after all. Buzak Chini admonished her children by saying: “my dear sons, Angak, Bangak and Kulula Sangak, please do not open the door to anyone that may come knocking”. Kulula Sangak then asks her mother: “mother, how do we know if it is you, then?” Buzak Chini thus says: “whenever I will be back, I will say that I am the porcelain goat, I have two horns, open the door to your mother!”. The wolf used to get near the goat’s house every day to try and eat her children, and so happened to hear all the words of Buzak Chini. When the goat leaves to get grass, the wolf wants to get her children but recalls the fact that the goat had tell them not to open the door to anyone. The wolf thus decides to look for another animal that he could use for his purpose. While singing a song, the wolf bumps into a crow, and thinking that the crow may be a friend of Buzak Chini, he can convince the children to open the door. The wolf pretends to be sick, telling the crow: “ouch, ouch, my legs hurt!”. The crow answers back: “what happened to you, why are you complaining?”. “Oh crow, today is much worse than any other day for me! The pain is so much that I visited a doctor, and he told me to go and get some goat wool to use as a bandage. Buzak Chini sees me as an enemy, she will never help me”. The crow, getting sad for what she had just heard, decided to help the wolf. They went together to the goat’s house, and the crow knocks on the door. The children behind it asks who is knocking, but even if it is dear friend, the crow, they cannot open the door as their mother instructed them not to. The wolf gets mad at the crow and sends her away, deciding to go and get the help of the fox. The jackal also offers his help, and the three proceed to go back to Buzak Chini’a house. Around noon the children hear someone knocking on the door, and thinking that it must be their mother, they happily ask: “who is behind the door?”. The fox, disguising her voice, says: “I am the porcelain goat, I have two horns, open the door to your mother!”. The children thus opened the door, and the wolf and the jackal kidnapped them, taking Angak and Bangak to the jackal’s house, while Kulula Sangak  manages to hide in the house. The brave Buzak Chini came home only to notice that the door was opened and her children were all gone. She called out to them many times, but none of the children could be found anywhere. After screaming for some time, Kulula Sangak still shaking and crying gets out from the place where he was hiding and tells his mother that someone with her voice was knocking on the door, and thinking that it was her, they opened it only to find out that it was the wolf and the jackal instead. Buzak Chini then
