    Storyline

    • Quotes
      • Soeur Geneviève: Miss De la Mesa, repeat what I said.
      • Anna de la Mesa: "The goat was eaten by the wolf for disobeying."
      • Soeur Geneviève: Getting eaten by the wolf was its punishment. So the text is about the need for obedience.
      • Anna de la Mesa: Sister, I don't get it. My grandpa showed me the paw of a fox caught in a trap. It gnawed off its paw to get free.
      • Soeur Geneviève: That's quite different. The goat wasn't trapped. Mr. Seguin fed it, loved it.
      • Anna de la Mesa: But he kept it tied up. It's in the book.
      • Soeur Geneviève: Are you saying the goat wanted to die? That would be a sin. Sit down.
      • Anna de la Mesa: Animals aren't Catholic, Sister.
      • Soeur Geneviève: What do you think it says?
      • Anna de la Mesa: The goat has two options: to stay at Mr. Seguin's or escape to the mountains. It leaves, thinking the wolf won't eat it. It goes up to the mountains, hoping to become free.
      • Soeur Geneviève: Well, it was mistaken. And so are you.
