To my Mother who bought me a big book of stories and to Uncle Ben who read those stories to me

Once upon a time in a land far far away, There lived three goat brothers in a pretty nice house that was near the kings castle. The oldest brother William was very serious and worked very hard. The middle brother Bill was a cool guy to hang out with on the weekends but he only worked part time, and the youngest brother Billy was a lazy goofball who could never hold down a job. Although the rent was pretty high they all lived happily until one day something had changed.



That Something was that their old landlady Mrs. Buttersworth had sold all of her property to old Mr. Trollington so she could retire and the rest of her life out on the beach, and Mr. Trollington had increased everyone's rent by a whole 20 shillings and back then that was a lot. The oldest Brother William only made 5 shillings a week and with their rent now at 25 shillings a month and their household income at 30 shillings the brother had now way of keeping the house but they couldn't just find a new place to leave because that would break their lease and they would lose their deposit that they had made. They truly were in a pickle.




The end of the month was quickly approaching and so was an eviction notice. The Oldest brother William didn't want his credit to be ruined so he told Billy the youngest brother that he needed to find a job. So Billy naturally went off to goof around with his friend the King. He told the king their problems and the King Exclaimed "I have just the thing to help you" and he ran off and returned with a knife and a fleece made of gold. Billy nervously said "what are you doing baaahh." and The King said Cut off your skin and wear this Golden fleece and you'll never have money problems again. Poor Little Billy didnt know what to do so he ran home to his older brothers to explain to them what he had just heard.





Upon hearing about the golden fleece the middle brother Bill said "Baaahh Who will put it on Certainly not little Billy he couldnt hold that much responsibility if he tried." William the oldest and most serious said "then who certainly not you my middle brother you are only responsible enough to work part time." Billy the youngest brother then said " But brother William certainly you cannot do it, you work too long and hardly ever have anytime." Just then a big boom hit their door. It was Mr. Trollington ! in his loud gross troll voice he said " BILLY GOATS YOU HAVE THREE WEEKS TO GET MY RENT !" The goats knew they didn't have that much time left.
