Two little friends

There was Little Goat and Little Leopard.
They became friends.
They went to a field together to play.
They returned home very late.
Little Goat said to his mama, "I met a beautiful friend. I am so happy. We will meet again tomorrow."
Mama Goat answered, "Oh my child. I am glad you are back safely. He is not our friend. Do not meet him tomorrow."
At the same time, Little Leopard told his mother, "I met a beautiful friend. I am happy. We will meet tomorrow."
Mama Leopard answered, "Oh my son, I am sorry you did not eat Little Goat. When you meet him tomorrow, kill him and eat him."
The next day, Little Leopard went to Little Goat's village.
Little Goat was not outside.
He was hiding inside with his mother.
Little Leopard shouted, "Let us go to the field to play."
Little Goat said, "We are not friends anymore. I listen to my mama. Good children listen to their mamas."
Little Leopard was sad.
He went back to his mama.
