Two of the goats run with gagahnya from the opposite direction on a steep mountain, then by chance they simultaneously arrive at each edge of the cliff that the water flowing beneath the river is very swift. A tree that falls, has been used as a bridge to cross the gap. Trees are used as the bridge is very small so it can not be passed simultaneously by two-tailed squirrel safely, let alone by two goats. The bridge is very small it will make even the most courageous people will be frightened. But the goat did not feel frightened. A sense of pride and dignity they do not allow them to give in and give way first to the other goats.
As one of the goat set foot into the bridge, the other goat was not budge and also set foot into the bridge. Eventually the two met in the middle of the bridge. Both still will not budge and instead encourage each other with their horns so that the two goats are finally falling into the abyss and were swept by a very swift flow of water underneath.
"Better yield than had the misfortune because of stubbornness."
