THE SAPIENT GOAT

              THE  SAPIENT  GOAT
              *********************
   Once upon a time there were two goats. One was a tad sapient while the other was quite obdurate and pugnacious. There existed a narrow bridge over a river close to their habitat.
 One day, one goat was crossing the bridge .When she reached the centre of the bridge, she met the other goat. Now the bridge had no room for both of them to pass simultaneously. A frightful arguement ensued between them over passing the bridge first.
   One goat bleated to other," Get back.Let me cross first."
  "Why should I get back? You better do", countered the other goat.
    After a verbal squabbling, the haughty goat tilted her horns to strike.
   "Halt!", trilled the second goat who was sapient," If we wrangle, both of us would flump down into the river and will get submerged into the water. I shall lie down and you may walk over me."
    She laid down on the bridge.The other goat walked over her. So they crossed the bridge comfortably and went on their ways.
