Old Mrs. Moody has a terrible cold, and while she waits to see the doctor, Catbaloo tells her the story of Anderson Kate and the Goody Goat Cart – a beautiful story of giving.

Anderson Kate is a little girl who lives on the mountaintop. One day, she and her mother bake a chocolate cake for Grandmother’s birthday. They put the cake in a little cart, pulled by two darling goats, and Anderson takes it down the mountain to the village in the valley where her grandmother lives. On her way there, she hears the troubles of her neighbors and gives them each a piece of the chocolate cake. By the time she reaches her grandmother’s house, the cake is all gone.

But wonderful things begin to happen on her way back up the mountain. With each stop she makes, she discovers that one neighbor has exactly what another neighbor needs. And by the time she arrives back home, everyone’s needs have been met.

Anderson Kate carried love, hope, and happiness all the way down, and all the way back up the mountainside.

I hope this story fills your heart with the very same.
