The story begins with the three friends embarking on a journey in a taxi. Upon arrival, they are asked to pay their fares. Cow pays her fare promptly and without issue. Dog, lacking the exact amount, pays a bit extra and awaits his change. However, before the driver can return the change, Goat flees without paying, leaving the driver displeased. Consequently, the driver departs, forgetting to give Dog his change. The story posits that this event is why dogs to this day approach cars, seemingly to identify the driver who owes them change. It also explains that goats run from cars due to the fear of being apprehended for unpaid fares. Conversely, cows remain unbothered by approaching vehicles, calmly crossing roads because they know their fares were fully settled. The narrative is presented as an eBook, with layout and audio recording by SIL-Education for Life, and is part of the African Storybook project.","Goat, Dog and Cow  \nFabian Wakholi · Marleen Visser  \nEnglish  \n1  \nGoat, Dog and Cow were great friends.

Cow paid her fare .  \n3  \nDog paid a bit extra, because he did not have the correct money.  \n4  \nThe driver was about to give Dog his change when Goat ran away without paying anything.  \n5  \nThe driver was very annoyed. He drove away without giving Dog his change.  \n6  \nThat is why, even today, Dog runs  \ntowards a car to peep inside and find the driver who owes him his change.  \n7  \nGoat runs away from the sound of a car.
