Saint Patrick and the Goat by: Riya T.

Once in Ireland, there was a man named Saint Patrick. He had a pet goat they he cared for greatly.

One day, Saint Patrick tied his goat on a pole near the church while he went in to pray. Then a very

bad criminal came and cut the goat’s rope, grabbed the goat and ran away. When he got home he

cooked the goat and ate him up. Saint Patrick was terrified at the loss of his dear goat and said that

he would try his best to find the person who took him. He swore to himself that he would punish the

man. He went to every door in the village and asked if they had seen his goat. Everyone just gave

the same old answer saying “Sorry, haven’t seen him.” Finally he came to one particular house that

was very weird. He could see through the window that this man had heads and bodies of goats

made into furniture around the house. He knew that this man had taken his goat but he couldn’t just

falsely accuse him. He tried to think of what to do and heard a noise. It was the goat in the man’s

tummy.He instantly knew what had happened and the man was punished.
