Two Goats, frisking gaily on the rocky steeps of a mountain valley, chanced to meet, one on each side of a deep chasm through which poured a mighty mountain stream.
兩只分別在山谷兩頭快樂玩耍的山羊相遇了。這座山谷崎嶇險(xiǎn)峻孙技，萬(wàn)丈深淵之下就是滾滾的河流草雕。
The trunk of a fallen tree formed the only means of crossing the chasm, and on this not even two squirrels could have passed each other in safety.
連接著山谷兩頭的只是一根倒臥的樹干怨咪，就連兩只松鼠同時(shí)通過都有危險(xiǎn)谨胞。
The narrow path would have made the bravest tremble.
即使再勇敢的人帮辟，走在這根狹窄的樹干上也會(huì)瑟瑟發(fā)抖肴楷。
Not so our Goats.
但這兩只山羊才不會(huì)被嚇住呢蔫巩。
Their pride would not permit either to stand aside for the other.
他們都那么地驕傲，誰(shuí)也不讓誰(shuí)先過橋叶组。
One set her foot on the log.
其中一只踏上了樹干。
The other did likewise.
另一只隨后也踏上了樹枝历造。
In the middle they met horn to horn.
在橋的中間甩十，兩只山羊相遇了船庇，角抵著角。
Neither would give way, and so they both fell, to be swept away by the roaring torrent below.
他們誰(shuí)也不愿意讓步侣监，于是兩只羊都掉下了懸崖鸭轮，被洪流沖走了。
Moral
It is better to yield than to come to misfortune through stubbornness.
寓意：
服輸忍讓總好過因固執(zhí)較勁而招致不幸橄霉。
