西山羊与东山羊。森林中有一条河流，河水湍急，不停地打着旋涡，奔向远方。河上有一座独木桥，窄得每次只能容一人经过。某日，东山上的羊想到西山上去采草莓，而西山的羊想到东山上去采橡果，结果两只羊同时上了桥，到了桥中心，彼此挡住了，谁也走不过去。东山的羊见僵持的时间已很长了，而西山的羊照样没有退让的意思，便冷冷地说道：喂，你的眼睛是不是长在屁股上了，没见我要去西山吗？我看你是干脆连眼都没长吧，要不，怎么会挡我的道？西山的羊反唇相讥。你让还是不让？不让开，我就闯。东山的羊摇了一下头，那意思是：看到没有，我的犄角就像两把利剑，它正想尝尝你的一身肥肉是否鲜美呢。哼，跟我斗，没门！西山的羊仰天长咩一声，便低头用犄角去顶东山的羊。好小子，我看你是不想活了。东山的羊边骂边低头迎上西山的羊。咔，这是两只羊的犄角相互碰撞的声音。扑通，这是两只羊失足同时落入河水中的声音。森林里安静下来，两只羊跌入河心以后淹死了，尸体很快就被河水冲走了。大道理：谦让是一种美德。你若处处争强好胜，便会处处碰壁。而不懂得谦让所带来的恶果，有时是当事者自己都难以预料到的，当恶果发生时，你只能在上帝那里忏悔了。
