There were two deer(鹿) living by a river. Over the river there 1 a very narrow bridge.
One day, one of them wanted to cross this bridge to 2 side of the river. Just in the middle of the bridge, he met the other deer. The bridge was not 3 for them to pass at the same time."Go back," said one deer to the other. "There is not enough room for both of 4 ." The other deer said, "Why should I go back? Better you go back."
"You must go back," said the first deer, "because I am 5 than you." The second deer said,"I don't think so. You are not stronger than me."
"We 6 who is stronger soon," said the first deer and he showed his horns(角) to let the second deer know 7 he was ready to fight.
"Stop!" said the second deer. "If we fight, we shall both fall into the river and 8 dead. I have a good idea. I shall lie down and you9 walk over me." Then he10 down on the bridge and the first deer walked carefully over him.
