Answer 1

two goats........narrow bridge ......... come

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

There were once two goats, neither of which had much patience, or much willingness to compromise. This inherent stubborness would only lead to their ultimate downfall.

One day, the two passed each other on a very narrow bridge, while on an afternoon trek. Both demanded that they deserved to cross first, unable to compromise and only thinking of themselves.

After bickering for minutes on who deserved the first right of passage, the two began fighting. As one goat began to shove past the other, his hoof hit a unstable ledge on the bridge and he began to falter. The other, unwilling to let the other goat pass, confronted the goat, and then stepped on the same unstable ledge. The bridge then gave way, and the two goats tumbled off the bridge, into the river, to their collective death.

The moral of this story are that patience, compromise, and teamwork are the keys to success.
