Two Goats

 
Two goats walk proudly in the opposite direction at a steep mountain, at the time they happen simultaneously each arrived at the brink of the river water flowing beneath a very heavy. A fallen tree, has been used as a bridge to cross the chasm. Trees are used as the bridge is very small so it can not be passed simultaneously by two squirrels to survive, let alone by two goats. The bridge is so small it will make the most courageous people will be frightened. But the goat did not feel fear. The pride and dignity they do not allow them to give in and give way first to the other goats.

When one goat foothold into the bridge, the other goat was not budge and also a foothold into the bridge. Finally, the two met in the middle of the bridge. They still will not budge and instead encourage each other with their horns so that the goat is finally falling into the abyss and swept away by the torrential flow of water underneath.

Better succumbing than had the misfortune of being stubborn.
