A shepherd wanted to bring back a stray goat to the herd. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain, but the goat paid no heed to the shepherd. At last, the shepherd threw a stone and broke the goat’s horn. The shepherd begged the goat not to tell his master, the farmer, about the incident. The goat replied, “You foolish man, I shall not become a liar, as the missing horn will speak for itself.”
