Description

A long time ago, goats had beautiful, long and fat tails. They were almost as long as the cows? tails. The goats were the best dancers in the animal kingdom. But the sheep were jealous of the goats? elegant tails and succeeded in trapping them. With their beautiful tails gone, the goats were never able to win another dancing competition and the sheep became the best dancers. And so a dispute began between the sheep and the goats, which survives until today. The books in this series intend to educate children about Uganda's cultural heritage.
