1
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Hello friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. I would

2
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: like to say hello to some friends. Hello to Olivia,

3
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: Hello to Charlie who is five and a half years old,

4
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: Hello to Adelaide, and hello to Mayve and Morgan from Melbourne, Australia.

5
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: Thank you for your support, it means the world to us.

6
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: I'd also like to say a very happy seventh birthday

7
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: to Evie. I hope you have a wonderful day. Remember

8
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: last week Mike had taught light Fun how to wear

9
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: the harness and pull the wagon and started to make

10
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: some money giving rides. He ended up getting a job

11
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: in the park giving rides with Lightfoot for ten dollars

12
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: a week. He and his mother are so excited. Lightfoot

13
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: and Mike head to the park nice and early on

14
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: their first day. Mike and Lightfoot need to get used

15
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: to the other boys and goats, and some of them

16
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: are not very happy to see them there. One boy, Henry,

17
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: does not like Mike or Lightfoot and finally gets a

18
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: chance one day to pay them back or something he

19
00:01:46,400 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: feels they have done to him. Lightfoot Chapter five. Day,

20
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: bright and early, Mike drove his goat and wagon to

21
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: the Big Park, which was in the upper part of

22
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: the city, not far from where the people had built

23
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: their shanties on the rocks. Well, I see you are

24
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: on time, said the man who had the privilege of

25
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: managing the goat wagons in the park. No wagons other

26
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: than those he permitted could come in to give the

27
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: children rise. So if Mike had not accepted his offer,

28
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: the boy could not have done a park business on

29
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: his own. Yes, Lightfoot and I are ready that Mike.

30
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: In a little while, the other goats were brought from

31
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: the stable in the park where they were kept, and

32
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: harnessed to small wagons. The wagons were better painted than Mike's,

33
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: but no cleaner nor larger. And as a friend of

34
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: his mother's had given her a strip of bright red carpet,

35
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: Mike put this in the bottom of his goat cart

36
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: so that it looked bright and cheerful. Huh, got a

37
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: new boy, it seems, said one of the small drivers

38
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: as he noticed Lightfoot and Mike. Yes, and if he

39
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: tries to take away any of my customers, he'll get

40
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: in trouble, said another, shaking his fist at Mike.

41
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: Here, you boys, no quarreling.

42
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: Said the manager of the goat wagons, a mister Marshall,

43
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: You'll all do as I say, and I won't have

44
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: anybody picking on this boy. Business isn't all that good anyways,

45
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: and I want you all to do your best. Mike

46
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: said nothing to the other boys, but he was not

47
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: afraid to take his own part. The other goats looked

48
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: at Lightfoot, and one hitched to the wagon driven by

49
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: the boy who had spoken a bit angrily to Mike,

50
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: said to Lightfoot, where did you come from from the

51
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: high rocks? Answered Lightfoot, Do you mean the mountains, asked

52
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: another goat. I don't know, but it's over that way,

53
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: said Lightfoot, and he pointed with his horns in the

54
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: direction of Mike's home. Oh he means the rocks by

55
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: the shanties, exclaimed the goat who had first spoken. Why

56
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: we can't have anything to do with goats like that.

57
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: We give rides to well born children. This goat comes

58
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: from a very poor home. Indeed, who said you could

59
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: come here and give rides with us?

60
00:04:59,400 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 2: He asked?

61
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about it, said Lightfoot. I was

62
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: driven here, and I'll do my best to give good

63
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: rides to the children. I may not have come from

64
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: the mountains, but The rocks where I live are very high,

65
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: and sweet grass grows on top. Can any of you

66
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: jump from the high rocks down on top of the

67
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: widow shanty? Thank you? We don't live near shanty's, said

68
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: another goat. We live in the park stable just the same.

69
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: That was a good jump, remarked a quiet goat with

70
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: short horns. I was over that way once. I think

71
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: I know the place you mean. He went on to Lightfoot,

72
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: and Mike's goat was glad to know he had one friend. Well,

73
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: he may be a good jumper, but I don't believe

74
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 1: he can butt hard with his horn, horns and head,

75
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: said the ill tempered goat, who was called Snipper from

76
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: the habit he had of snipping off leaves and flowers

77
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: in the park. I once nearly butted a trolley cart

78
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: off the tracks, said Lightfoot, and I did shove a

79
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: little girl out of the way of the car. Ugh,

80
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: that's nothing, sneered Snipper. Let's see how hard you can butt,

81
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: and he rose up on his hind legs and aimed

82
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: his head and horns at Lightfoot. Look Out, Lightfoot, cried Mike.

83
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: But the new goat was ready for Snipper. Rising on

84
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: his own hind legs lightfoot butted the other goat so

85
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: hard that he nearly fell over backward into the cart.

86
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Good well butted, cried the kindly short horned goat. That

87
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: was fine. I wouldn't say so if you felt it,

88
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: bleeted Snipper. Well, it was your own fault you started

89
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: the quarrel, went on the friendly goat. I can butt

90
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: better than he can, and I'll show him too next time,

91
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: grumbled Snipper, rubbing his head against a tree. Say, cried

92
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: the boy who had spoken roughly to Mike. If your

93
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: goat doesn't leave mine alone, I I'll do something to you.

94
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: Oh no, you won't, said Mike. I'm not afraid of

95
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: the likes of you. Here.

96
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: Boys, stop your quarreling, said the man.

97
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: Get ready. Now, some children and their mothers are coming.

98
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:52,559
Speaker 1: Perhaps they may want rides. Along the path that led

99
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: to the goat stand, came a number of boys and girls.

100
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: Seeing them, the boys in charge of the goats called

101
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: here you are for a ride.

102
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: This way for a ride.

103
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: We've got the best goats in the park, only five

104
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: cents a ride. The children stopped, some begged their fathers

105
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: or mothers to let them have a ride. One man

106
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: with a boy and girl said, yes, which wagon and

107
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: goat do you want? Asked the father. For a moment,

108
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: the children were undecided. Here take mine, it's the best,

109
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 1: cried the boy, whose goat had been butted by Lightfoot.

110
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: For a moment, the children seemed about to get into

111
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: the wagon, and then the little girl cried, Oh, see

112
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: what a pretty red carpet is in this wagon, and

113
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: she ran over to Mike's I want to ride in this,

114
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: so do I said her brother, and they got in.

115
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: Mike was pleased and happy, but the other boy, whose

116
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: name was Henry, scowled. I'll get you for that, he

117
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: muttered to Mike, But Mike did not care. He started

118
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: Lightfoot down the park road, and the goat drew the

119
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: delighted children swiftly and carefully. Thus it was that Mike

120
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: and Lightfoot began their work in the park. From then on,

121
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: for several weeks, Mike would take his goat and cart

122
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: to the stand every morning, and all day long he

123
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: would drive parties of children up and down. Lightfoot was

124
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: growing stronger and more used to the harness and the cart,

125
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: and he could soon pull as well as the best

126
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: goat in the park every Saturday night, Mike took home

127
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: ten dollars to his mother, and this was the best

128
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: of all. Of course, Mike took in more than this

129
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: from the children who paid him for their rides, but

130
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: everything over ten dollars went to mister Marshall. Out of

131
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: the ten dollars, Mike paid for hay and oats for

132
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: Lightfoot or now that he had work to do, the

133
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: goat could not live on grass alone. The other goats

134
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: accepted Lightfoot for a friend now, and even Snipper was

135
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: on good terms with him, for they all saw that

136
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: Lightfoot was as strong as any of them and could

137
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: take his own part. But Henry, the boy who drove Snipper,

138
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: did not make friends with Mike. I'll get even with

139
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: him some day, he said. And this is how he

140
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: did it. Not a very fair way, I should say.

141
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: One noon, Mike took the harness off Lightfoot, and, putting

142
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: a rope around the goat's neck, tied the other end

143
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: to a tree, so Lightfoot would not stray away as

144
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: he had once or twice, meaning nothing wrong. Mike's mother

145
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: had not had time to make his lunch that morning,

146
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: so Mike went down to a little restaurant in the park,

147
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: intending to get a glass of milk and some sandwiches.

148
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: Now behave yourself, Lightfoot, while I'm gone. I'll soon be back,

149
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: said Mike. Lightfoot wiggled his little stubby tail. Whether he

150
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: understood or not, I cannot say. He went on cropping grass.

151
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: After he had eaten his hay and other food. In

152
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: a little while, Henry came along. He saw Lightfoot tethered

153
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: all by himself, the other goats having been taken to

154
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: the stable. Henry looked about, and, seeing no signs of Mike,

155
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: took up a stick and, going toward Lightfoot, said, I'll

156
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: teach you to bot my goat. You won't do it

157
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: after I am through with you. Then with the stick,

158
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: he started chasing Lightfoot. At first, Mike's goat did not

159
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: know what to make of this. He looked up, and

160
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: seeing that it was one of the goat boys but

161
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: not Mike, thought maybe it was a new kind of game.

162
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: But as the stick got closer and closer, Lightfoot knew

163
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: that it was no game. Swish wish wish, and re

164
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: swung the stick around Lightfoot's back. Lightfoot tried to get away,

165
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: but the rope held him. Then suddenly the goat became angry,

166
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: and you cannot blame him. He knew he had strong

167
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: horns and a strong head given him by nature to

168
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: butt with and defend himself. And I'm going to butt

169
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: that boy who was chasing me with that stick, thought Lightfoot.

170
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: Before Henry knew what was happening, Lightfoot rushed straight at

171
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: him with lowered head, and the next thing Henry knew,

172
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: he found himself falling backward, head over heels in the grass.

173
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: The goat had butted him down good and hard. For

174
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: a moment, Henry lay dazed, hardly knowing what had happened.

175
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, Lightfoot felt sorry. Mike would

176
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: not want me to do this, He said to himself.

177
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: Maybe he will be angry with me when he comes back.

178
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: I know what I'll do. I'll run away. With a

179
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: strong jump and a leap. Lightfoot broke off close to

180
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: his neck the rope that held him, and then before

181
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: Henry could get up, off through the bushes in the park,

182
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: ran Lightfoot. He had run away. The park where Lightfoot

183
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: worked was quite a large one. There were many paths

184
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: in it and driveways. There were also patches of wood,

185
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: and places where the bushes grew entangled clumps, making many

186
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: hiding places. I'd better hide myself for a while, thought Lightfoot.

187
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Or though he was a tame goat, he still had

188
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: in him some of the wildness that is in all animals,

189
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: and this wildness made him want to hide when he

190
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: thought himself in trouble. And the trouble Lightfoot feared was

191
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: that he would be spoken harshly to for knocking over

192
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: the boy who had teased him. I'll hide under these

193
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: thick bushes, said the goat to himself, when he had

194
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: run quite a distance from the stand in the park

195
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: where the small wagons were kept. The bushes were thick,

196
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: but with his strong head and horns, Lightfoot soon poked

197
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: away for himself into the very middle of them, and

198
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: there he lay down upon the ground to rest, for

199
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: he had run fast and was tired. His heart was

200
00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: beating very hard, though he did not know it. Lightfoot

201
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: had done just as a wild goat would have done

202
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: one that lived in a far off country, who had

203
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: never seen a wagon, a harness, or a shanty. He

204
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: had hidden himself away from trouble, and with a beating

205
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: heart as he crouched under the bush. Lightfoot wondered what

206
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: he would do next. I can't go back to the

207
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: park and help Mike with the wagon giving the children rides,

208
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: thought Lightfoot. If I do that, the boy with the

209
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: stick will be waiting for me. He'll be angry at

210
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: me for knocking him down. That little girl wasn't mad

211
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: at me for knocking her off the trolley tracks. But

212
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: then I guess that was different, and maybe Mike will

213
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: be angry with me too. I'll be sorry for that.

214
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: He won't give me any more lumps of salt nor

215
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: sweet carrots. I won't see Blackie again, nor Grandpa Bumper.

216
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: I'll never jump around on the rocks anymore, and see

217
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: the sharp horns. Well, it can't be helped, I supposed.

218
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: I must do the best I can. I'll stay here

219
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: for a while and see what happens. The Lightfoot remained

220
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: in hiding, and when Mike had finished getting his little

221
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: lunch in the restaurant, he came back to reharness his

222
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: goat to the wagon, ready to give the children rides

223
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: in the afternoon.

224
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: What where's Lightfoot?

225
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: Asked Mike in surprise as he came back and saw

226
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: the broken rope where he had tied his pet. Where's

227
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: my goat? How should I know, asked Henry in an

228
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: angry sort of voice. He butted me over on my

229
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: back a little while ago. Or you must have done

230
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: something to make him do that. That quickly cried Mike.

231
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: He looked at the end of the broken rope. At

232
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: first he thought Henry might have cut it on purpose

233
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: to let Lightfoot get away, But the ends of the

234
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: rope prayed and rough showed that it had not been

235
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: cut but broken. Have any of you seen Lightfoot, asked

236
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: Mike of the other boys, But they had all been

237
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: to dinner themselves and had not seen what had happened.

238
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: The other goats, too, had been taken to the stable

239
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: or the noon meal. Only Henry had seen Lightfoot run away,

240
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: and he felt so unkindly toward the goat and Mike

241
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: that he would not tell Mike where he had gone.

242
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: Mike ran here and there, asking the park policemen and

243
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: other helpers if they had seen his goat, but none had.

244
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: Lightfoot had taken just the best possible time to run away, noon,

245
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: when everyone was at lunch, and now the goat was

246
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: safely hidden in the bushes. Well, I've just got to

247
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: find him, said Mike to himself, as he looked at

248
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: the goat's harness hanging on the tree and at the

249
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: wagon with its strip of bright red carpet. I've just

250
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: got to find Lightfoot, telling mister Marshall what had happened,

251
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: and promising to come back with Lightfoot as soon as

252
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: he could find him and take up again the work

253
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: of giving children rides in the park, Mike set off

254
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: to find his pet along the paths, cutting across the

255
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: grassy lawns, looking under clumps of bushes, asking those he met.

256
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: Mike went on and on, looking for Lightfoot. Now and

257
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: then he stopped to call the goat's name. But though

258
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: once Lightfoot, from where he was hiding, heard Mike's voice,

259
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: he did not bleat in answer, as he had always

260
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: done before. He is looking for me to scold me,

261
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: thought Lightfoot, And I am not going to be scolded.

262
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: Poor Lightfoot. If he had known that Mike would not

263
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: scold him, but would have pet him and given him

264
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: something nice to eat, the goat might have come out

265
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: from the bush where he was hiding and have trotted

266
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: up to Mike. Had Lightfoot done this, he would have

267
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: saved himself much trouble. But then, of course he would

268
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: not have had so many adventures, about which I will

269
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: tell you. After calling and looking for Lightfoot, even very

270
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: near the bush under which the goat was hidden, but

271
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: never suspecting his pet was there, Mike walked farther on.

272
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: He had not given up the search, but now he

273
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: was far from the place where Lightfoot was hiding. Lightfoot

274
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: stayed under the bushes and listened. He did not hear

275
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: anyone coming toward him, and he began to think he

276
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: was now safe. He was beginning to feel a bit

277
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: hungry again, so he reached out and nibbled some of

278
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: the leaves. My that tastes good, he said to himself.

279
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: It's better even than the grass that grows on top

280
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: of the rocks at home. Then all of a sudden,

281
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: Lightfoot felt homesick. He thought of the fun he had

282
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: had with Blackie and the other goats, and he wanted

283
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: to go back to them. I think I'll do that,

284
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: he said. Maybe. After all, Mike will not let the

285
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: other boy chase me, but I will wait until after dark.

286
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: The sun sank down in the west, the children and

287
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: their nurses went home from the park. The goats and

288
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: wagons were taken to the stable. Mike came back from

289
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: his search. Well did you find your goat, asked mister Marshall.

290
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: Mike shook his head sadly. No, I didn't, he answered,

291
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 1: but I'll look again tomorrow. If you don't find him

292
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: pretty soon, went on the man, I'll have to get

293
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: another goat and wagon. Mike felt sadder than ever at this,

294
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: for he knew the money he had been able to

295
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: earn with Lightfoot was much needed at home, and it

296
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: was with a sad heart that Mike told his mother

297
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: what had happened. Never mind, Mike, my darling, said, the

298
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: good irishwoman. Maybe Lightfoot will come back to us some day.

299
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: At dark, Lightfoot crept out from under the bush. The

300
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: lights were sparkling in the park, and he thought he

301
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: could easily find his way back to Shantytown. Mike had

302
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: driven him from there to the park and back many times.

303
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: But the darkness, even though there were lights here and there,

304
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: bothered Lightfoot. He soon became lost. He did not know

305
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: which way he was going. Once, as he crossed the

306
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: green lawn in the park, he saw, standing under a lamp,

307
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: a policeman with a club. Lightfoot did not know what

308
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: a policeman was, but he knew what a club was

309
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: used for to chase goats. But he won't chase me,

310
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: he thought Lightfoot. So he kept in the shadows and

311
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: got safely passed. On and on he wandered, trying to

312
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 1: find his way back to the rocks where he had

313
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: spent so many happy months, but he could not find them.

314
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: And at last he became so tired that he crawled

315
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: under some bushes and went to sleep.

316
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: Good night. Leap tight, see right through lots of pros

317
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: of me and you, and windows of blue, I find gold.
