According to the History of Ancient Ukraine, there was a family which consisted of four members: two males (the Chronologically Advanced Man and his Son) and two females (the Chronologically Advanced Woman and the Goat). The main role in it was played by the Chronologically Advanced Man. This is a breach of personal rights of female persons and can be considered as a type of gender discrimination. Although three members of the family worked hard (two males and one female), they did have certain financial needs. That is why the family counsel decided to send the second female person (the Goat) to graze on a meadow every day.
Firstly, the Son led the Goat to graze. In the evening the Chronologically Advanced Man put on his red shoes, which was the family relic, came to the gate and asked the Goat what she had eaten and drunk during the whole day. The Goat answered that she had eaten nothing but a small leaf and had drunk nothing but a drop of water. The head of the family got angry and banished his Son. Next day the Chronologically Advanced Woman went to graze the Goat. The end of their journey was the same as in the case with the Son. Finally, the breadwinner noticed that something in the Goat’s words was wrong. According to her complaint she might have starved, but day after day she was gaining extra weight. The Chronologically Advanced Man did not have the right to accuse the Goat of lying without any proofs. So he decided to graze the Goat by himself. Since it is offensive to goats to call them stupid animals we just announce that our Goat was not very smart and at the end of the day repeated the same complaint to her master. He realized he had been cheated by his pet, banished the Goat and returned the Son and the Chronologically Advanced Woman home.
The Goat escaped to the forest, found someone’s house, and settled there. In that house the Hare lived. He was a lawyer and knew that the Goat’s action could be qualified as a crime of capture of another person’s dwelling. The Hare phoned immediately to the police and asked for help. They sent to the place of crime their police officer. The Hare was not gender prejudiced and hoped that aesthetically pleasant uniformed Ms. Fox would be success to arrest the burglar. But she failed. Two other police officers, whose names were Wolf and Bear (both males), did not reach the success either. The last officer was a veteran of anti-terrorist service, the crayfish with an amputation (he had only one pincer). Despite his physical disability, he managed to pinch the Goat. According to the law it was a kind of corporal punishment. The Goat was arrested and put into prison. The happy Hare thanked all of those who took part in that operation and invited them for a cup of tea.
