The story recounts a period of drought where animals consumed all the grass, leaving only imbowa plants on tall trees. Goat borrows a knife from Hyena to cut these plants, eats her fill, and then misplaces the knife. When Hyena returns, Goat cannot find it, leading Hyena to threaten to eat Goat and her offspring because the knife was vital for Hyena's livelihood. The narrative concludes with Goat still searching for the lost knife.
