a Polish story: "A Horned Goat" by Lucia Merecka Borski and Kate B. Miller

This anthology of folktales, fables, and legends has been selected from twenty different books published in 1928, covering a range of European stories (ancient and modern) along with stories from the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Many, but not all, of the stories are for young readers, featuring some well-known authors of children's literature, including Erick Berry, Paul Fenimore Cooper, Georgene Faulkner, and Eva March Tappan, among others. Several stories come from the "Book Trails" series, a 16-volume collection of stories and poems for children that was published in 1928 (and later reissued as an 8-volume series in 1946).
