The master smiled. "I speak the language of the goat people and you of the
chicken people. Do you know all the goat words we say in private? Can you
add new goat words? Be content to be a chicken."

"But," the student objected, "how can I say 'pecking' in the goat talk?"

The master whacked the student soundly with his staff.
