The Goat and the Goatherd

A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid noattention 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 speakthough I be silent."  Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
