Once upon a time there was an old lady who had a small vegetable garden where she had a beautiful onion plantation that was hardly bigger than a tablecloth!. 

One morning, when she was about to water the small onions, she found a goat. That goat was having fun stepping on the onions.

-Goat!! Get out of my onions!!! -shouted the angry old lady

The goat kept quiet. He looked at her up and down and down and up and then he said:

-Brlrlrl!! I am the goat of the goat group and nobody can get me out of this place!-

The old lady left and she was very sad!! On her way, she met a dog and she told him the story!

The dog tried to comfort her and told her: -Old lady!! Don´t worry about the vegetable garden or the onions !!-

When they went to the vegetable garden, the dog barked: -Goat!! Get out of that onion plantation!!!:-

—¡Brlrlrl! —said the goat looking at him straight into his eyes. - I am the goat of the goat group and nobody can get me out ot this place!!-

Three hairs from the dog´s body stood on end and the dog thought that it was not convenient to fight with that goat so he told the old lady he would return to take him out another day. 

The old lady who was very sad went back to the road  to look for somebody who could help her. She met a horse and she told him the story. The horse told her: 

-Old lady!! Don´t worry about the vegetable garden or the onions !!- so when they arrived at the vegetable garden the horse neighed: -Goat!! Get out of that onion plantation!!!:

—¡Brlrlrl! —said the goat looking at him straight into his eyes. - I am the goat of the goat group and nobody can get me out ot this place!!!-

And he continued trampling all over the onion plantation!! The horse shivered as if seven centipedes were walking on his back  and he  thought that it was not convenient to fight with that goat so he told the old lady he would return to get him out another day. 

The old lady who was very sad went back to the road  to look for somebody who could help her.

She met a bull and told him the story. The bull said: -Old lady!! Don´t worry about the vegetable garden or the onions !! so when they arrived at the vegetable garden the bull said : Goat!! Get out of that onion plantation!!!: —¡Brlrlrl! —said the goat looking at him straight into his eyes. “ I am the goat of the goat group and nobody can get me out of this place!!!”

And he continued stepping more heavily all over the onion plantation!! The bull thought that it was not convenient to fight with that goat so he told the old lady he would return to take him out another day. 

The old lady went back to the road and on her way she met a little ant that was taking a walk.

Why are you crying? asked the ant. When the ant listened to the story she said: 

Old lady! Don´t worry about the vegetable garden or the onions!

-Ay! Little ant! You are so little! How can you help me? 

Take it easy! Don´t worry!! Please, pick me up and take me in your pocket so we can get there more quickly!

When they arrived there, the little ant said: Goat, get out of that onion plantation!! —¡Brlrlrl! —said the goat  looking at her straight into her eyes. “ I am the goat of the goat group and nobody can get me out ot this place!

And he continued stepping more heavily all over the onion plantation!! 

Very slowly and step by step the little ant approached the goat. She started to climb over the goat leg till she arrived at his tail. And once there, she stung him over and over again. 

—¡Brlrlrl! —said the goat with crossed eyes. He started running, got lost very far away  and ...he never returned there again! 

When the little ant got tired of stinging she jumped up and step by step she went back to the old lady´s home. And she decided to stay there and live in the old lady´s sugar bowl. And they are still there, talking about goats, onion plantations and lots of other things during the mate time.
