Two goats live near a river.
One goat is big. One goat is small.

There is a small bridge over the river. Only one goat can walk on it at a time.

One day, the big goat walks on the bridge. At the same time, the small goat walks from the other side. They meet in the middle.

The big goat says, “Move! I am big and strong.”
The small goat says, “Please do not be proud. We can both cross.”

Both goats are proud. They push each other.

They lose balance and fall into the cold river. Splash!

They swim to the shore. They are wet and cold.

The lesson: Never be proud.

Saxon genitive (’s) –
showing possession

The Saxon genitive shows that something belongs to someone. We add ’s to a name or noun.

Basic rule:

👉 person/animal + ’s + thing

Examples:

• John’s book = the book belongs to John
• Anna’s bag = the bag belongs to Anna
• The cat’s food = the food belongs to the cat

If the name ends in -s (like James):

We still usually add ’s:

• James’s book = the book belongs to James
• James’s car = the car belongs to James

Plural nouns:

If the word is plural and already ends in -s, we just add an apostrophe ’:

• the boys’ room = the room of the boys
• the teachers’ office = the office of the teachers

Easy way to remember:

Instead of saying “the book of John”, we say:
👉 John’s book

If you want, I can also give you a short quiz to practice it.

The black panther is a big and strong wild animal. It is very beautiful and very fast. The black panther is not a different kind of animal. It is a leopard or a jaguar with black color. The black color comes from the skin and the fur. Sometimes, if the sun is bright, you can see spots on its body. These spots are like the normal leopard or jaguar.

Black panthers live in warm places. They live in forests and jungles. Some live in Africa, some in Asia, and some in South America. They like places with many trees. Trees are important for them. Panthers can climb trees and hide from danger. They also rest in trees during the day.

The black panther is a

carnivore.
This means it eats meat. It eats animals like deer, birds, and small animals. The black panther is a very good hunter. It hunts mostly at night. At night, it can see very well. Its black color helps it hide in the dark. When it moves quietly, other animals do not see it.

The black panther is very fast and strong. It can run quickly and jump far. It can also climb very high. Sometimes, it jumps from tree to tree. It is very quiet. It does not make much noise. But when it wants, it can roar. Its roar is very loud. It uses the roar to protect its home or to scare other animals.

Black panthers usually live alone. They do not live in groups like lions. They meet other panthers only to have babies. A baby panther is called a cub. The mother panther takes care of her cubs. She teaches them how to hunt and how to live in the forest. Cubs stay with their mother for a long time. Then, they go to live alone.

The black panther is important for nature. It helps keep the forest alive. It controls the number of other animals. Without black panthers, some animals can eat too much food and destroy the forest.

Today, black panthers are in danger. People cut the forests to build houses and roads. This is called deforestation. It is very bad for panthers. Some people also hunt black panthers for their fur. This is illegal in many countries, but it still happens. We must protect the black panther and its home.

In conclusion, the black panther is a beautiful, strong, and smart animal. It is quiet, fast, and powerful. It lives in forests and jungles, hunts at night, and climbs trees very well. We should respect black panthers and protect the forests where they live.
