Two Goats
两只小羊
Over a river there was a very narrow bridge.
河上有一座窄窄的独木桥。
One day a goat was crossing this bridge.
一天，一只小羊正在过桥。
Just at the middle of the bridge he met another goat.
走到一半，他碰到了另一只羊。
There was no room for them to pass.
桥上太挤，只能让一只羊过去。
'Go back,' said one goat to the other, 'There is no room for both of us'.
“你快后退，”一只羊对另一只羊说，“我们两个过不去。”
'Why should I go back?' said the other goat. 'Better you must go back.' “
为什么要我后退？”另一只羊说，“你才要后退。”
“You must go back', said the first goat, 'because I am stronger than you.'
“你回去”，第一只羊说，“因为我比你强壮。”
'You are not stronger than I', said the second goat.
“你哪里比我强壮了”，第二只羊说。
'We will see about that', said the first goat and he put down his horns to fight.
“那就来试试看吧”，第一只羊说着，他低下了头，准备用羊角来打架。
'Stop!' said the second goat.
“快停下”，第二只羊说。
“If we fight, we shall both fall into the river and be drowned. I have a plan. I will lie down and you may walk over me.'
“如果我们打架的话，都会掉到河里淹死。我有个主意，我躺下，你从我身上跨过去。”
Then the wise one laid down on the bridge and the other goat walked highly over him.
聪明的小羊躺在桥上，让另一只羊跨了过去。
So they crossed the bridge comfortably and went on their ways.
两只小羊都安全的过了桥，高兴地离开了。
