The Wolf and the Goat

One afternoon, a hungry wolf noticed a goat grazing at the very edge of a high cliff. Just thinking of a fine goat dinner made the wolf smack his lips.

“My dear friend,” he called in his sweetest voice, “aren't you afraid you will fall down from that cliff? Come down here and graze on this fine grass beside me, on safe and level ground.”

“No, thank you,” said the goat.

“Well then,” said the wolf, “aren't you cold up there in the wind? You would be warmer grazing down here beside me, in this sheltered area.”

“No, thank you,” said the goat.

“But the grass tastes better down here!” said the exasperated wolf. “Why dine alone?”

“My dear wolf,” the goat finally said, “are you quite sure that it is my dinner you are worrying about, and not your own?”

A
To be his friend.
B
To graze on the level ground.
✓
C

Penjelasan singkat

Permintaan pertama serigala: “Come down here and graze on this fine grass beside me, on safe and level ground.”

(Jawaban draft awal — dapat disempurnakan lewat fitur suggest-answer / tinjauan.)

Saat pertama melihat kambing di tebing, serigala berkata: “Come down here and graze on this fine grass beside me, on safe and level ground” — ia meminta kambing merumput di tanah yang datar (jawaban B). Niat tersembunyinya memang menjadikan kambing santapan (D), tetapi itu bukan yang diminta serigala; pertanyaan menanyakan isi permintaannya.
