Read by Abigail Rasmussen
Moni is the goat boy who takes care of all the goats belonging to the people of Fideris, Switzerland. He loves to sing, yodel, and whistle while he romps with the goats all day long on the mountains. His favorite is a young kid named Mäggerli. One day Moni comes across a serious situation where he must keep a deceitful secret in order to protect Mäggerli from being killed. Will Moni risk the life of Mäggerli and tell the truth? This delightful short story teaches children that to trust God and do right is always better than being deceitful.

Old fashioned story set in the Alps about the consequences of hiding sin and the unhappiness that comes over us when we do. Also clearly exhibits the joy and freedom of a clear conscience before God and man. The Grandmother teaches faith in a caring Almighty God 😇🙏👼.
