The Ram in the Chili Patch

Long ago there was a Mexican boy named Juan who helped raise money for his family by growing chili peppers in his garden.

But one day when he came out to his chili patch, he found a ram there eating some peppers and stomping on others. "Go away, Mr. Ram," sai Juan. "Those are my peppers," The ram replied, "Get away from me or I'II butt you into the next county." Juan started to cry, and all the animals on the little farm felt sorry for him. The cat tried to help. she went up to the ram and said. "You should be ashamed of your self. Get out of there. those are Juan's chili peppers." But the ram lowered his head and said, "Get out of here or I'II butt you into the next county." So the cat ran away. The dog tried to help. He came out and barked at the ram, but the ram lowered his head and said,"Get out of here or I"II butt you into the next county." The dog too ran away.

Finally a little ant said, "I can help you, Juan." The ant climbed onto the ram and began biting him all over. The ram jumped up and started running. He ran so fast and so far that now he is in the next county!
