When Maria was about 5, her family bought a baby goat. he was white with a black spot and was very curious. He was quickly named Snoopy and given a large pen all to himself. Maria instantly fell in love with Snoopy.
Maria often could be found in Snoopy's pen playing with the goat, feeding him or just petting him. She often dragged her brothers and sisters to visit Snoopy with her. Once they all had cupcakes. Maria gave little pieces of hers to Snoopy as she often shared her snacks with the goat. When it was all gone and just a paper wrapper left, Maria told Snoopy, "I am sorry it is all gone." Then snoopy snatched the wrapper from her hand and promptly ate it. Maria gasped, "Snoopy just ate paper!" and all the children laughed.
A few months later, Snoopy became very ill with pneumonia and passed away. Maria was very very sad, but she always had fond and happy memories of her goat, Snoopy.
