Two Goats on a Bridge
A classic idea retold in new words: two goats, one narrow bridge.
This is an original GKSchools story for children — read it aloud, then try the three kind questions. Updated for families in 2026. It is not a school textbook scan.
A wooden bridge was only as wide as one goat. From the hill came Golu. From the field came Moti. They met in the middle.
“I will not step back,” said Golu. “Neither will I,” said Moti. They pushed. Splash! Both fell into the cool stream and bleated.
The next day they met again. Golu lay down. Moti stepped over carefully. Then Moti waited. Both reached grass with dry coats.
What did we learn?
Taking turns is stronger than a stubborn push.
