STORY
Two Goats




Over a river there was a very narrow bridge. One day a goat was
crossing this bridge. Just at the middle of the bridge he met another
goat. There was no room for them to pass.
"Go back," said one (furious, afraid, arrogant) goat to the other,
there is no room for both of us".
"Why should I go back?", said the other goat. He was (excited,
insistent, worried) and said, "Why should not you go back?
You must go back", said the first goat, "because I am stronger
than you," as he thought of himself as very (disappointed,
sympathetic, confident).
"You are not stronger than I", said the second goat.
"We will see about that", said the first goat, He was (coward,
determined, fearless) and he put down his horns to fight.
"Stop!", said the (grateful, worried, embarrassed) second goat.
If we fight, we shall both fall into the river and be drowned. Instead I
have a plan. I shall lie down, and you may walk over me."
Then the second (concerned, foolish, wise) goat lay down on the
bridge, and the other goat walked lightly over him. So, they passed
each other, and went on their ways.​
