- Soeur Geneviève: Miss De la Mesa, repeat what I said.
- Anna de la Mesa: "The goat was eaten by the wolf for disobeying."
- Soeur Geneviève: 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 Geneviève: 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 Geneviève: 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 Geneviève: 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 Geneviève: 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.
