La chèvre menteuse

La chèvre menteuse

This is the story of a poor man who has nothing to feed his three sons. So, the day he finds a gold coin, he runs to the market and buys a goat... Elisabeth Calandry's masterpiece, "La chèvre menteuse" (The lying goat) is a popular story that has been passed down by word of mouth for centuries. It appears in several reference works and one can read the versions collected by Charles Joisten, Henri Pourrat or the Serbian Vouk Karadijtch. Beyond its cruelty, it speaks of the power of the word and the damage caused by mistrust.

"La chèvre menteuse" is available on Storyplay'r in an illustrated version, in an audio version narrated by french native storytellers. Thanks to our reading module, we can offer a reading aid for this story as well as for all the other ones, and tools for a dyslexic children adapted version.
