The house
on Briar Wood Drive remained empty for several years.
During one summer, an elderly couple moved to town in hopes of
finding a nice place to retire. To
their surprise, they found a wonderful house that
had a huge backyard and nice shade
trees. There was space between the neighbors, which was something Carl had always wanted. He hated living to close to people. He felt like he had not privacy.
se o trees. There was space between the neighbors, which was something Carl had always wanted. He hated living to close to people. He felt like he had not privacy.
When the couple
looked at the house, they knew it was their dream come true.
Everybody in the town decided this time they would tell the couple what
all had happened in the house. Carl's wife, Alma, was
terrified of the house. She did not want anything to do
with the house. However, Carl did not believe in ghosts or
supernatural phenomenons. Carl was 75 years old and ready to
settle into a nice house and he was not going to let some stupid
stories scare him away from a bargain. A week later Carl bought
the house. The couple moved in the following month.
Alma was skeptical of the house and never really felt comfortable there. After the first year, the tension started to disappear. Carl always made fun of Alma for believing all of those stories the people had told her. Sometimes he would catch Alma alone in the kitchen looking over her shoulder and he would scare her just for the fun of it. Alma told Carl that he was lucky she had not already died of a heart attack.
Eventually, after the house was fixed to the couple's liking, Carl decided to buy a goat. He had always wanted a goat. He had a great idea. He would teach the goat how to be an attack goat. Carl named the goat Snowball, because he was completely white. He worked with Snowball for a year and Snowball had made no progress with his training. Carl decided to change his methods. Every day he would go outside and beat Snowball with a stick. He thought for sure that this would give Snowball some aggression. Alma could not believe the crazy idea that her husband had. Alma warned Carl that Snowball would kill him if he did not stop beating him. Carl just laughed and continued his "training".
Several months later, Carl went outside and approached Snowball with the stick. The lights started to flicker in the house. Alma looked outside to see what Carl was doing. Snowball lowered his head and rammed Carl in the stomach. Snowball went crazy, ramming Carl in his abdomen. Carl ran, trying to get away from Snowball. He fell off of the porch and landed on his back. Snowball continued to ram him. Alma was shocked. She could not believe what had happened. She called 911. When the ambulance came, Carl was pronounced dead due to serious abdominal wounds. A week later Alma, moved out of the house and was never seen again. Snowball was rescued and sent to live with other abused animals.
When I read this story, I could not believe that a goat could actually kill someone. I added a lot of different details to the original story. I added the couple buying the house and the feelings Alma had about the house. I did this in order for this story to be linked to the rest of the stories that are in this story book. However, Carl did beat a goat named Snowball and was killed due to abdominal wounds. Alma did warn Carl about the goat and did not want him to hurt the goat. Snowball was rescued and sent to a place for abused animals.
