Omar's Goat (I)

One Story A Day

Omar's Goat (1) Omar is a ten-year-old boy. He lives in a small vilage in Africa. But, unlike most kids, he doesn't go to school. His family has no money. All they have is a small goat herd. Every day, Omar takes the ten goats to the field so they can eat grass. He watches over the goats carefully. He can't lose a single one. At the end of each day, Omar counts his goats and brings them back to the village. One morning, Omar counted the goats. To his surprise, he discovered eleven goats! A baby goat was born during the night!
