      The Goat and the Goatherd


A GOATHERD had demanded to bring back a goat to his flock.

 He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons.

 At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."

Moral: Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
