It is part of the African Storybook Initiative and is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) Version 3.0 Unported Licence, allowing for free use, adaptation, and translation as long as proper attribution is given. The narrative follows three friends, Goat, Dog, and Cow, who embark on a journey in a taxi. Upon reaching their destination, they are asked to pay their fares. Cow pays her fare, and Dog pays a bit extra due to not having the exact money. As the driver is about to give Dog his change, Goat unexpectedly flees without paying. This infuriates the driver, leading him to drive away without returning Dog's due change. The story concludes by explaining that this incident is the reason why, to this day, dogs are often seen running towards cars, seemingly to check inside and find the driver who owes them their change. The story is intended for children and aims to provide an engaging narrative with a clear, albeit simple, moral or explanatory conclusion. The illustrations by Marleen Visser complement the text, bringing the characters and their interactions to life in a visually appealing manner suitable for young readers. The initiative behind the book promotes literacy and storytelling within African contexts.","Goat, Dog and Cow  \nEnglish Story Book  \nGoat, Dog and Cow  \nWriter: Fabian Wakholi Illustration: Marleen Visser  \n[www.africanstorybook.org](www.africanstorybook.org)[ ](www.africanstorybook.org)A Saide Initiative  \nEnglish  \nCopyright © 2014, African Storybook Initiative  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.
