It did not take long for the situation was complicated. "What should I do?", She said to the wise. He smoothed by beard, thought a little and asked, "You have a goat?". "Yes," she said, "but what that has to do with my problem?". "I know what to do - take the goat in the house for a week and then return here." She reluctantly followed the advice, but he was a wise man ... After a week things got worse. Each time the goat is turned, the six residents had to relocate. It was impossible to sleep. The lady in tears, decided to return to the wise. "I'm much worse than before" she said and told you the whole story.

But through the questions, decided to follow the board for the last time. After a week she returned. "How are you feeling, ma'am?" he asked. "This is ridiculous, but I feel a little better now that the chickens are outside the hut." He heard the comment and said: "I have the ultimate solution to your problem. Take the goat."
