THE SAPIENT GOAT
*********************
There was a bridge over a river in the propinquity of a hamlet.It was too narrow to let the two persons cross it simultaneously.
One day an obdurate and pugnacious goat was crossing it. When she reached the centre of the bridge, she was confronted by another goat coming from the opposite direction.As the two goats could not cross simultaneously, the first goat bleated to the other, "Get back.Let me cross first."
"Why should I get back?"baaed the other,"You get back."
A frightful arguement ensued between them.
Incensed, the first goat tilted her horns to strike the other.The other goat who was sapient and understanding trilled,"Halt! If we indulge into physical wrangle, we will both flump down into the river and get submerged into the water. I shall lie down and you walk over me."
Then the wise goat laid down on the bridge and the recalcitrant goat walked over her.
So they grossed the bridge comfortably and went on their way.
