Gilly the goat is having a hard time dealing with the heat. It is the hottest summer that she can remember!
She follows the lead of some of the smaller animals. She seeks shelter underneath a tall leaf that grows in the stream. It doesn’t fully cover her.
Then Gilly considers sitting by some shrubs. They provide a little shade, but the dirt is too dry to keep them upright.
Gilly eventually gets to the town. The people of the town are constructing a new house. It inspires Gilly to try making her own.
Gilly spends the rest of the day collecting sticks, leaves and branches that are of the right size. Then she starts to dig with her hooves.
When she is done, she is astounded at what she has managed to do all on her own. The only thing left to do now is try it.
Her new home keeps out the heat perfectly. All of the other goats are going to be envious. Gilly’s hard work really paid off.
