The Chief Priest decided to sacrifice the Little Goat. But when he brought the knife to the Little Goat’s throat, he began to laugh.
- Why are you laughing? - asked the Chief Priest. "Don't you know I'm going to cut your throat?"
“I know,” answered the Little Goat. “For hundreds of lives I was born in the body of a kid, and now, finally, I will find a human body.” - And the Little Goat began to cry.
- Why are you crying now? - asked the Chief Priest.
- I cry for you, Priest. Hundreds of lives ago, I too was the Chief Priest and sacrificed kids.
The Chief Priest fell on his face and asked for forgiveness:
“I will never sacrifice kids again!”
And he became the Great Protector of all living beings on the planet.
