THE TWO GOATS

TWO  Goats  started  at  the  same  moment, from  opposite ends, to cross a rude  bridge that was only wide enough for one to cross at a time.    Meeting at the middle of the bridge, neither would  give  way  to  the  other.   They locked horns, and  fought  for  the right of way,  until both  fell  into  the  torrent  below  and  were drowned.
