[Goat 1 puppet walks onto the screen from one side, stepping carefully.]
Goat 1 (calmly, looking ahead): I must cross this narrow bridge to reach the other side.
[Goat 2 puppet enters from the opposite side, also stepping carefully.]

[Both goats step onto the bridge and stop in the middle.]
[They face each other, lowering heads slightly.]
Goat 1 (firmly): Move aside. I was here first.
Goat 2 (stubbornly): No, you move! I am not backing up.
[Both goats step closer, blocking each other.]
Goat 1 (snorting, pawing ground): I will not give way!
Goat 2 (lowering head): Neither will I!
[They both prepare, then “butt heads.”]
[They push against each other, wobbling on the narrow bridge.]
Goat 1 (straining): You’re going to fall!
Goat 2 (pushing harder): Not before you do!
[Both lose balance.]
[Both goats tumble off the bridge in opposite directions.]
[Pause.]
[Both goats slowly reappear at the edges, looking tired.]
Goat 1 (groaning): Now neither of us crossed…
