When two goats meet upon a narrow bridge over deep water, how dothey behave?
Neither of them can turn back again, neither can pass the other,
because the bridge is too narrow; if they should thrust one another,
they might bothfall into the water and bedrowned.
Nature, then, has taught them, that if the one lays himself down and
permits the other to go over him, both remain without hurt.
Moral of the story: Even so, people should rather endure to be trod
upon, than to fall into debate and discord one with another! It is
better to yieldthan to come to misfortune through stubbornness.
