Oliver D. Bernuetz's Stories Back to my home page - back to stories Whitewall - The Goat's Path
The Goat's Path dates back to the war between the goats and sheep when the
leader of the goats Old Twisty Horn managed to scale the cliff behind the
Tor and get into the fodder the sheep had stored there.
Black Beauty was angered that not only did the goats eat the same grass
and plants they did but they also climbed steep hillsides his people
couldn't! So he got his flock to collect all the sweetest fodder and carry
it laboriously to the top of the Tor. Once up there he positioned ewes at
all the slopes he thought the goats could climb and he himself stood guard
right before the huge pile of fodder that was stacked right in front of
the near vertical drop to the plateau. Unfortunately Black Beauty
underestimated his foes and while the other goats provided a distraction
Old Twisty climbed up the back slope and hollowed out the pile of foddder
right under Black Beauty's nose. Ever since the Goat's Path has been the
place for a sneaky solitary approach to the Tor especially if theft is
planned.
