On a wild mountain，two goats met on a road just over a high cliff．（悬崖） The road was so narrow （狭窄）that there 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 rock， pressing as close to the rock as he could． Then the other goat gently and softly stepped over his friend， till， safely past him， he could lightly jump away．

The goat that had lain down then drew himself up， safe and free to leap again from rock to rock， and enjoyed the sweet grass on the hill happily．

However，two other goats met on the banks （河岸）of rushing river． A tree had fallen across and become a bridge from one side to the other．

The two goats looked at each other，and each wished to pass over first．

They stood for a moment with one foot on the tree， each thinking that the other would draw back． But neither of them would give away， 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 slipped， and both the goats fell into the stream， and were lost in the water!
