| 1 | A young apprentice Goatherd sought to return a stray Goat to the flock. |
| 2 | The Goatherd had entrusted him with his prize horn to which all the Goats were well acquainted. |
| 3 | Yet as hard as he tried, the apprentice Goatherd failed to entice the Goat back with the Horn. |
| 4 | In frustration and anger, he threw down the Horn causing it to break. |
| 5 | Whereupon, at the ceasing of such berating, the Goat returned to the flock by his own volition. |
| 6 | As the Goat passed by, the young Goatherd begged the Goat not to speak of the broken horn. |
| 7 | To which the Goat said thus: Verily, my testimony shall not matter. For the horn will speak for itself even if I be silent. |
