Once in the light day, a dispute was made by two not young Goats.

The first tells to another and presses him by horn:

“You see my horns are very strong, how much force I have.

I’ll overcome you, foolish Goat!

The second Goat replies: “What are your horns! Look at my hoofs!

I will give on your sides by them; you’ll fly with horns in a ditch!”

A day ends, but Goats don’t stop. Donkey passed by,

He saw two debutants and he wanted to help them

“Why do you press each other, Goats, you’d rather calm down.

You, on the right hand, press down stronger, I will look!

But you press incorrectly!

And you, that on the left, move your hoof stronger!

My Brother, quarrel by yourselves. I am tired and bored

Shake a beard stronger, beat by hoof…

that’s all for you, my Brother
