Two Wise Goats

One day, there were two goats lived in a small village. The village has a river with a narrow bridge over it. People used the bridge to cross over the river.

One sunny afternoon, the two goats wanted to cross from opposite directions. The goats met in the middle of the bridge. The bridge was too narrow. There was no space for them to pass.

They waited but neither of them moved away. The white goat shouted to the other, “You must go back since I am older and stronger than you”.

The brown goat refused and said “I am stronger. You are old and will take a lot of time to cross the bridge”. 

Soon their argument turned into a fight. The brown goat struck the other goat with his horns. The white goat was shock.

He thought that if they continued fighting then they would fall off the bridge and drown.

Suddenly the white goat shouted out “Stop! If we fight we will fall into the river and drown, instead I shall lie down and you may walked over me”.

The wise white goat then laid down on the bridge and the brown goat walked carefully over him, so they finally passed each other and were on their way.
