Short Story Alert:
There was a goat named Mars who loved to watch over his family. Everyday he would stand guard over them. He loved his family and would do whatever it took to keep them safe. Mars the goat would get all his children together and they would listen to the stories of when he was younger. They would all sit and listen very closely because they did not want to miss one single word. You see Mars the goat was a very good story teller and all his children loved listening to their father's stories. They learned a lot from the wise words of their father and all his stories. The end!
