La faute à Fidel!

Soeur Genevi?ve:
Miss De la Mesa, repeat what I said.

Anna de la Mesa:
"The goat was eaten by the wolf for disobeying."

Soeur Genevi?ve:
Getting eaten by the wolf was its punishment. So the text is about the need for obedience.

Anna de la Mesa:
Sister, I don't get it. My grandpa showed me the paw of a fox caught in a trap. It gnawed off its paw to get free.

Soeur Genevi?ve:
That's quite different. The goat wasn't trapped. Mr. Seguin fed it, loved it.

Anna de la Mesa:
But he kept it tied up. It's in the book.

Soeur Genevi?ve:
Are you saying the goat wanted to die? That would be a sin. Sit down.

Anna de la Mesa:
Animals aren't Catholic, Sister.

Soeur Genevi?ve:
What do you think it says?

Anna de la Mesa:
The goat has two options: to stay at Mr. Seguin's or escape to the mountains. It leaves, thinking the wolf won't eat it. It goes up to the mountains, hoping to become free.

Soeur Genevi?ve:
Well, it was mistaken. And so are you.

Marie de la Mesa:
Is that why you want to change schools? You won't see your friend Cecile anymore.

Anna de la Mesa:
It doesn't matter. It's like changing nannies.

Marie de la Mesa:
How?

Anna de la Mesa:
It's sad when they leave, but if the next one is nice, it's okay.
