For 11th Class Student

Once upon a time, two goats approached a narrow wooden bridge from opposite ends. Beneath it flowed a swift stream. The bridge was so narrow that only one goat could cross at a time.

When they met in the middle, neither was willing to yield. Both were equally proud and stubborn, refusing to step aside. Instead of showing patience or wisdom, they engaged in a fierce struggle for dominance.

In the scuffle, they both lost balance and plunged into the rushing waters below, where they drowned. Their inability to compromise led to their tragic end.

Moral: Pride and selfishness destroy both sides.
