The narrative humorously explains the origins of animal behaviors related to cars. After reaching their destination, the driver requests payment for the fares. Cow promptly pays her fare in full. Dog, not having the exact amount, pays a little extra, expecting change. However, before the driver can return Dog's change, Goat flees without paying at all. This act of dishonesty infuriates the driver, leading him to drive away without giving Dog his owed change. The story cleverly connects these events to the present-day behaviors of these animals. It suggests that Dog's habit of running towards cars to peek inside stems from this unresolved transaction, perpetually looking for the driver who owes him. Goat's skittishness around cars is attributed to her fear of being apprehended for not paying her fare. Conversely, Cow remains unbothered by approaching cars because she is confident in having settled her debt, illustrating a clear distinction between honesty and deceit and their lasting consequences. The tale is written by Fabian Wakholi and illustrated by Marleen Visser, part of the African Storybook initiative.","Goat, Dog and Cow  \nFabian Wakholi · Marleen Visser  \nEnglish  \n1  \nGoat, Dog and Cow were great friends.
