A Horse and Two Goats and Other Stories (also published as A Horse and Two Goats) is a collection of short stories by R. K. Narayan, published in 1970 by The Bodley Head.[1] The book is illustrated by R. K. Laxman, Narayan's brother, and includes five stories.[2] The title story is a sly narrative of a business transaction between an American tourist and an Indian goat-herder as Muni, the result of an inability to communicate with each other.[3]
