A Goatherder had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He yelled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons.

At last the Goatherder threw his horn at the goat, and broke it.

He begged the Goat not to tell his Dad that he had broken the horn.

The Goat just rolled his eyes: "Why, you silly twit, the horn will speak though I'll remain silent."

Sometimes its just plain stoooopid to try and hide things which cannot be hid.
