A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock.

He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons.

At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master.

The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent.

" Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.

很多山羊被牧羊人赶到羊圈里。

有一只山羊不知在吃什么好东西，单独落在后面。

牧羊人拿起一块石头扔了过去，正巧打断了山羊的一只角。

牧羊人吓得请求山羊不要告诉主人，山羊说：即使我不说，又怎能隐瞒下去呢？

我的角已断了，这是十分明显的事实。

” 这故事说明，明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的。
