The Narrow Bridge
Goaty, a 3-year-old goat, faces a big problem when he encounters another goat on a narrow bridge. Their journey teaches them the value of charity and cooperation. Will they find a way to cross without falling into the pond?
Goaty lived on a farm with a big pond and a very narrow bridge. One sunny day, he wanted to cross the bridge to get to the yummy grass on the other side. But oh no! Another goat named Bucky wanted to cross from the other side too. The bridge was too narrow for both of them. They both stopped in the middle, unsure of what to do.
- Move, Bucky! Goaty said. - No, you move! Bucky replied. They both tried to push each other to get across. But the bridge was too narrow, and they both lost balance. Splash! Into the pond they fell, soaking wet and unhappy.
Goaty climbed out of the pond, shaking the water off. - That was silly, he said. - Yes, we should have found a better way, Bucky agreed. They decided to try again, but this time, Goaty went first. Bucky waited patiently. But halfway across, Goaty slipped and fell again!
Goaty was frustrated. - This is too hard, he said. - Maybe we need to think of another way, Bucky suggested. They sat by the pond, thinking hard. - We can't give up, Goaty said determinedly. - But what if we fall again? Bucky asked.
They decided to try something new. - Let's walk slowly and help each other, Goaty said. So they both got on the bridge again. This time, they held onto each other for balance. But halfway across, a strong wind blew. They wobbled and fell into the pond again!
Goaty felt like giving up. - We'll never get across, he sighed. - Don't be sad, Bucky said. - We must keep trying. They decided to rest and think of a better plan. - Maybe we need to be even more careful, Goaty said. - Yes, and we should trust each other, Bucky added.
Suddenly, an old wise goat named Grandpa Billy came by. - What's wrong, little ones? he asked. They explained their problem. - You must work together and take turns, Grandpa Billy advised. - One of you should go halfway and wait. Then the other can pass safely. - That sounds smart, Goaty said.
Goaty and Bucky decided to follow Grandpa Billy's advice. Goaty went halfway and waited. Then Bucky carefully crossed to the other side. Finally, Goaty crossed the rest of the bridge. - We did it! Goaty cheered. - Thanks for waiting, Bucky said. They both learned that helping each other was the best way.
