Goats are related to sheep for obvious reasons such as hoofs and horns, tails and fur (wool) but some think they are related to deer (more than they are to sheep) because deer have the same tail and they grow horns and they also have hooves while sheep have wool and deer have fur but goats don't have wool they have fur. Goats could also be related to horses through the hooves gene but that would be a short scientific reason why. We all originate from something!

Well, honey, grass has a short vowel sound. The 'a' in grass makes the /æ/ sound, which is short and snappy. So next time you're out in the yard, remember that grass is short and sweet in more ways than one.

There is no short sound. The EE pair has a long E sound, as in she and heap.
