THE MISSING GOAT

The Missing Goat ! ?

It all started one lazy Sunday afternoon 

in a small town near Toronto in Canada.

Two school-going friends had a crazy idea.

They rounded up three goats from the neighborhood and painted the numbers 

1, 2 and 4 on their sides.

That night they let the goats loose 

inside their school building. 

The next morning, 

when the authorities entered the school, 

they could smell something was wrong.

They soon saw goat droppings 

on the stairs and near the entrance 

and realized that some goats had 

entered the building.

A search was immediately launched 

and very soon, the three goats were found.

But the authorities were worried, 

where was goat No. 3?

They spent the rest of the day 

looking for goat No.3.

The school declared classes off for the students for the rest of the day.

The teachers, helpers, guards, 

canteen staffs, boys were all busy 

looking for the goat No. 3, 

which, of course, was never found.

*Simply because, it did not exist*.

Those among us who inspite of having 

a good life are always feeling a 

"lack of fulfilment" 

are actually looking for the elusive, 

missing, non-existent 

Goat No.3.

Whatever the area of complaint or dissatisfaction, relationship, 

job-satisfaction, finance, achievements, ...... 

*An absence of something*

is always 

*larger than the presence*   of many other things

Let's *Stop worrying* about goat No.3 

n enjoy the life...

Life would be so much happier

without the worries....

And *don't let* the non existent imaginary goat number 3  

to *waste your time and happiness*.
