Once upon a time, over a river there was a narrow (狭窄的) bridge.

One day, a goat (山羊) was crossing     1     bridge. In the middle of the bridge, he met another goat. There was no room     2     two goats to pass at the same time. “Go back,” said one goat to the other. “There isn’t       3     (some) room for both of us.”

“Why should I go back? Why don’t     4     go back?” said the other goat.

“You must go back because I am     5     (strong) than you,” said the first goat. “No, you are not,” said the second goat.

“We will see about that,” said the first goat, and he put down his horns (羊角) to fight. “Stop!” said the second goat. “If we fight, we will both     6     into the river. We should not fight but live in peace. I thought of a good     7     just now—If I lie down, you may walk over me.” Then the clever goat lay down on the bridge, and the other goat walked over him very     8     (easy). So, in this way, they both     9     (cross) the bridge and went on their ways.

    10     (fight) can’t solve (解决) problems. Sometimes take a step back and there will be a bigger world in front of you.
