On a wild mountain, two goats met on a road just over a high cliff(懸崖). The road was so narrow that there was neither room for them to pass each other nor to turn round and go back. What do you think the two goats did?
One of them with great care laid himself down on the narrow road, pressing as close to the rock as he could. Then the other goat softly walked on his friend, safely passed him, he could lightly jump away.
The goat that had lain down then stood up slowly from his place, safe and sound, free to jump again from rock to rock, and enjoyed the sweet grass on the hills happily.
However, two other goats met on the banks of a rushing river. A tree had fallen across the river, and became a bridge from the one side to the other.
The two goats looked at each other, and each wished to pass over first.
They stood for a while with one foot on the tree, each thinking that the other would turn back. But neither of them would give way, and they met at last on the middle of the narrow bridge!
They then began to push and fight with their horns(角)， till at last their feet missed, and both goats fell into the running river and were lost in the water!
Both might have been saved, if either of them had known how to give way at the right time.
