The Goat and the Vengeful Vine | Podcast
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful farm that the farmer took great pride in. The farm was home to a variety of plants and animals, and the farmer was especially proud of the vine that grew there. This vine produced the most delicious and juicy grapes.
Living on the farm alongside the vine was a curious goat who spent her days watching the vine from her pen. The goat longed to taste the sweet grapes, but unfortunately, her pen was always locked. One day, the farmer forgot to lock the pen, and the goat saw her chance to taste the forbidden fruit. She quickly ran out of ink and made her way to the vine, where she began to nibble on the leaves and grapes.
The goat’s actions saddened the vine, who questioned “Why do you eat me?””Have you no pity?” But the vine also vowed to have revenge, saying, “There will come a time when you will be sacrificed and my wine will be poured over you.”
The goat was so scared by the vine’s words of revenge that she ran back to her pen and stayed there for the rest of the day. The farmer was able to contain the damage done to the vine, but he was still angry at the goat for trying to eat the grapes.
The next day, the farmer took the goat to the market, where she was sold and prepared to be sacrificed in accordance with the vine’s promise. The goat was sacrificed, and her body was covered with the vine’s wine as an offering. The vine was pleased, and the farmer, though sad to have lost his beloved goat, was relieved that the revenge of the vine had been satisfied.
From then on, the farmer took extra care to ensure that the vine was protected and that no other animals were able to get close to it. The vine kept giving the farmer tasty grapes, and his farm became known for its great wine.
The moral of this story is to not take advantage of someone else’s generosity, or else you will face the consequences.
