“Should we cross it? Where’s the bridge the billy goats built?” Patrick asked while he bent down to study the water in the lake. “I vote we don’t cross it cause the water is filthy.”
“I think the goats either already crossed it or they changed their minds. They were deranged little things,” Virginia answered.
