The Goatherd and the Goat

A goatherd tried to induce a goat who had strayed from the flock to join the other goats. He was not able to accomplish anything by shouting or whistling, so he threw a rock at the goat, and the rock broke one of her horns. The goatherd begged the goat not to tell the master what had happened, but the goat replied, 'You must be the stupidest goatherd in the world! The horn itself will proclaim the deed, even if I remain silent.'
