THE GOAT. 
lamb. The Goat will bear both heat and cold, but 
his hair gets very fine and long in a warm land, 
and is as soft as silk : it is cut off the Goat and 
spun, and it is worn by very rich men in Asia : and 
it is dyed of many hues, so as to look very gay. 
One kind of Goat has very long ears, that hang 
down on each side of his face. The feet of a Goat 
are very sure, so that it can get up a high rock, and 
it will leap from peak to peak, till it gets so high up 
on the hill that it is very hard to get at it. The 
milk of the Goat is used in the same way that 
cow's milk is, and the skin is used in many ways : — 
your boot is made of the skin of a kid, you know. 
Kids are very good to eat, also, and the meat from 
them is like that of a lamb or fawn, but with us 
they are not much used for food, nor are we very 
fond of the milk of the Goat ; but, when cows are 
not to be had, it is the next best kind of milk that 
can be got.
