There was once an old goat named Goby. He had spent his life eating green grass. Goby would roam from field to field to locate the best grass on which to munch.
One day Goby stopped eating. He had eaten so much grass, he could not eat another bite. Logan was Goby’s owner. Logan was very upset because Goby stopped eating. The vet told Logan to try giving Goby other food.
Sometimes Logan would take Goby oats in a bowl. Other times Logan might throw him a tomato or a potato. He even tried giving him fruit. Goby just gave a groan and turned up his nose.
One day Logan gave him a piece of his leftover toast. It had a little butter and jam on it. Goby tasted the toast. Yum, yum! It was the most he had eaten in a long time. From that day on, Goby ate only toast with butter and jam. That made Logan happy too.
