12.Over a river there was a very narrow bridge.One day,a goat was crossing this bridge.Just in the middle of the bridge he met another goat.There was no room for them to pass. "Go back," said one goat to the other, "there is no room for both of us." "Why should I go back?" said the other goat. "Why should not you go back?" "You must go back," said the first goat, "because I am stronger than you." "You are not stronger than me," said the second goat. "We will see about that," said the first goat,and he put down his horns (角) to fight. "Stop!" said the second goat.
