Moni is faced with a terrible decision. If he is honest, his dearest little goat, Meggy, will be killed. When he is dishonest and saves Meggy, his conscience is troubled and dark.
Moni has always been a friend to the goats in his care. The goats have loved him in return. He has always had a joyful trust in God and brought his goats through many dangers on the Swiss mountainsides. The goats trust him to keep them safe. How can he allow Meggy to fall to the butcher's knife?
What will he do? Learn how Moni regains his cheerful, happy spirit in the end.
His name is pronounced MOH nee. This book contains two other stories, just as interesting: "Without a Friend" and "The Little Runaway."
