Little goat, little goat

Told in English, Telugu.

Here is a little goat. A small, soft, white goat.

What does the little goat say? Me-e-e! Me-e-e! Can you say it too? Me-e-e!

The little goat went out to play. Trot, trot, trot. Trot, trot, trot.

Then the little goat came home. Amma was waiting at the door.

Amma asked, and the goat answered. Here is the old song they sang. Bujji mekaa, bujji mekaa, edakellaave? Raajugaari thotalona methakellaane.

It means, little goat, little goat, where did you go? I went to the king's garden, to eat the green grass.

Let us say it together. Little goat, little goat, where did you go? To the king's garden, to eat the grass!

What did the goat eat? Green grass. Munch, munch, munch. Munch, munch, munch. Can you munch too?

The garden had green grass. The garden had pretty flowers. The goat was very happy. Clap, clap, clap!

One more time. Little goat, little goat, where did you go? To the king's garden, to eat the grass!

Now the sun is going down. The sky is soft and pink. The little goat is tired.

Amma goat says, come close, my little one. The little goat snuggles in. So warm. So cosy.

A tiny yawn. A soft little me-e-e.

The little goat closes its eyes. Shh, shh, shh.

Good night, little goat. Good night, my little one. Sleep now. Sleep.
