Fable The two goats, from Aesop, for children

Once upon a time there were two goats that, eager to live in freedom, left their respective flocks and went down the mountains, on different sides, to the edge of a river.

By a strange coincidence, the two goats found themselves on different sides of the river, separated by a tree trunk that was a bridge over the width of the river.

The trunk was too narrow and only one animal or person could pass at a time.

The two goats, looked at each other, and as stubborn and stubborn as they were, decided to move through the trunk at the same time.

When crossing the trunk, the two goats found themselves face to face in the middle of the trunk. But neither of them wanted to give way to the other.

And there they stayed for hours without any rewind, until at a certain moment, the trunk began to break due to the weight of the goats, and they ended up falling into the river.
