"Here you go, Madam, I've brought you this smelly goat! It's a symbol of all of the amends I wish to make - the reek clearly represents how much I stink for upsetting you."
After you've acquired it? Jiang Cheng. Suppose you climb all the way down the mountain and find your apology goat a ribbon and he won't even eat the thing, what then?
A-Cheng, A-Cheng, I need to thank you for the gift you've just given me. I'm picturing you, all puffed up and dignified, sniffing each goat to assess your options. This may very well satisfy my boredom until you've returned.

Well. Yes. I will have done what I can. At least she will have confirmation that the goat has a healthy appetite.

Do you think that you should perhaps bring an extra ribbon to test such a thing?

I don't know!
Look, I won't go back and get another goat if the first won't eat the ribbon!
[ When did they even decide the goat eating the ribbon is a good thing? Why did he ever agree to a ribbon in the first place??? ]
