3. One day, a goat wanted to cross a bridge. The bridge was very narrow. A
deep river flowed under the bridge.
While crossing the bridge, the first goat saw another goat. The second
goat was coming from the other side of the bridge. Both the goats met in
the middle of the bridge.
There was no place left for the goat to pass each other. The first goat
said to the second one, ‘Step back.’
The other goat did not agree. ‘No, let me pass first!’ Soon, the two goats
started arguing.
Neither of them was ready to give in. They got angry with each other.
‘If you don’t step back, I will push you,’ said the other goat.
They started to push each other with their horns. Alas! The silly goats
slipped off the narrow bridge and tumbled into river
