Later, the man married another woman who was cruel and starved the kids. When the goat heard the kids complaining about being hungry, she told them to whack her horns and she will give them food. The stepmother noticed that these kids where getting stronger and fatter and she wanted to know who or what was giving them food. This stepmother had a one-eyed daughter who she loved very much. When this daughter was able to walk and talk ,the stepmother told her “tell me when something or someone gives you food” and the daughter did so when she saw everything. The stepmother was very mad at this goat and wanted it killed. She faked being sick and told a doctor she wanted goat flesh to make her feel better. The father didn’t want to kill the goat because it was his beloved wife but he had to do it because of his wife's stake. When the kids heard what was going to happen to their mother, they went and told her everything and the goat said “it is better for me to die than live in this world, but when I die bury my bones in a certain spot and when you need food, go there, ask for it and you will get it.” The kids left just in time. The butcher came with a knife and killed the goat. The butcher cook the meat and the stepmother ate it.The kids took the goats bones and buried them in a certain spot as the goat instructed. Soon after the goat died, one of the daughters was washing her face in a stream that ran by the house. As she bent over, her nose ring fell off and went into the water.
