1
The trouble with goats.
2
How hard could it be to take care of one little goat, Kelly thought.
3
Mrs. Smith was going on vacation and needed someone responsible to take care of her very loved and very pampered goat, Elmer.
4
Kelly did not know much about goats, but Elmer was adorable.
5
He was small, mostly black with a gray patch over one eye, and his short legs were white, so it looked like he was wearing socks.
6
Kelly just needed to feed him, give him water, and spend time with him so he would not get lonely.
7
Kelly was excited to be trusted with this responsibility, and as a bonus, Mrs. Smith was going to pay her $25.
8
Kelly clutched the instructions that Mrs. Smith had written for her as she approached Elmer's pen.
9
Step 1.
10
Get Elmer's food from the red bucket by his pen.
11
Only feed him one scoop three times a day.
12
Kelly scooped some fragrant alfalfa pellets into a bowl.
13
When Elmer heard her, he began to bleat in excitement.
14
Hi, Elmer.
15
Easy boy, she greeted him.
16
Elmer got more excited and leapt into the air, twisting his body from side to side.
17
Kelly unlatched the gate and carefully stepped into the pen.
18
Now for step two.
19
She tried to read the next instructions but accidentally dropped the paper.
20
She was bending over to pick it up when something bumped against her.
21
Ouch! she cried as she lost her balance and landed in the dirt, spilling pellets all around her.
22
Elmer stood innocently beside her and seemed to be smiling.
23
Elmer, you knocked me over!
24
Elmer kicked his back feet in the air playfully.
25
That was when Kelly noticed something white in Elmer's mouth.
26
It was the instructions.
27
Elmer, no. Kelly tried to pull the paper out of his mouth, but he had already eaten half of it.
28
She held up a soggy scrap of paper and read what was left.
29
Step two.
30
Don't ever turn your back to Elmer.
31
He will headbutt you.
32
That would have been a good thing to know in advance, Kelly thought.
33
Kelly was cleaning up the spilled food when she noticed that Elmer was strangely quiet it.
34
She glanced up and discovered that the gate was wide open, and Elmer was gone.
35
Kelly raced out of the pen and looked up and down the street.
36
Finally, she spotted him in the middle of Mrs. Ware's yard, munching on her prized flower garden.
37
No, not the petunias, Kelly yelled.
38
Elmer looked at her and ran in the opposite direction.
39
He was speedy for a goat with such short legs.
40
He trotted directly toward Mr. Johnson's fancy red car and ran right over the top of it, his little hooves clicking and scraping on the metal hood.
41
That goat was fast, and he was getting farther and farther away from his home.
42
Kelly did not know what to do.
43
How would she get him back to his pen?
44
All she knew was to feed him three times a day, give him water, and never turn her back on him.
45
Then, Kelly had an idea.
46
Maybe her cleverest idea ever.
47
Elmer, she called out.
48
Elmer turned to look at her curiously.
49
Kelly turned her back to him and waited.
50
She checked behind her and saw him charging toward her.
51
Elmer could not resist trying to headbutt her from behind.
52
Kelly ran as fast as she could, and Elmer chased her all the way back to his pen.
53
The second he was inside, Kelly slammed the gate shut.
54
Elmer looked at the closed gate, looked at Kelly, bleated loudly, and then gave her another goat smile.
55
That goat was trouble, but he was still adorable.

About This Lesson
You're practicing English with "เรื่องสั้น" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.
Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
