隔天主人來把他們帶走。等等，主人？小孩只有爸媽，沒有主人吧？

Well, these kids have an owner. You see, they aren't people like you and me. These kids are goats!
其實，他們跟你們不一樣，他們是小山羊！

Yep! A 'kid' is a young goat…like a puppy is a young dog, and a kitten is a young cat!
"Kid" 除了是小孩，也是小山羊的意思。就像 puppy 是小狗，kitten 是小貓。

So, two young goats went to jail for fighting. Those are some baaaaaaad kids!
