Late at night, seven little goats lay in bed getting ready to sleep.
Mama goat Belly said, “Tomorrow is the weekend, let’s go eat ice cream.”
The seven little goats cheered, “That’s great!”
“Summer is the best time for ice cream!”
“But where should we go to eat?”
“I want to go to the one on Main Street.”
“But I think the one at the end of the street is better.”
…
They all discussed enthusiastically which ice cream shop had the best ice cream, unaware that Big Bad Wolf Jimmy and Tiger Tyson were trying to break into their house.
Jimmy said as he tried to pry open the door, “They’re debating which ice cream is best, but they don’t know they’ll be our dinner soon! But brother, on such a hot day, ice cream really hits the spot. It’s so hot I feel like shedding all my fur.”
“That’s true. Speaking of ice cream, the best one is red tea flavored.”
“No, honeydew melon is the best!”
“Red tea!”
“Honeydew melon!!”
“Red tea!”
“Honeydew melon!”
…
As they argued fiercely, a bucket of water was poured over their heads.
They looked up to see a big bird perched on a tree.
Tyson angrily said, “You must be a bored bird, daring to pour water on us!”
The big bird said, “You’re so noisy! It’s the middle of the night, and you’ve woken everyone up. I’ve already called the police.”
Jimmy and Tyson then noticed that all the lights around them were on, and everyone, including the seven little goats and their family, was watching them through the windows.
Soon after, they heard police sirens.
