In a village very remote
a very silly goat
in the only well
the stupid animal it fell.
As it happened to be
this did no one see.
Only they wondered about the water’s taste,
but they couldn’t afford its waste.
So day after day
the people passed away,
till the village had died out,
and nobody could have shout:
Would you not have given us
goat and well, not had happened thus.
What’s the meaning of the story?
If you don’t have, you don’t have to worry.
