​​*🐐Stubborn Goats*Two goats came face to face while crossing a narrow bridge. “Let me pass”, said one of them. “Never, you get out of my way”, said the other goat. They quarrel each other and lost their balance.

They fell into the stream down below and died!

A few days later another two goats came face to face while crossing the same bridge. Both these goats were wise and patient.

They made way for each other to cross the narrow bridge. Both reached their home safely.

📚**blow your own horn | blow your own trumpet

✍🏾Meaning**:
If you blow your own horn, or blow your own trumpet, you proudly boast about your own talents and successes.

*❕For example*:

🔺I hate the way Barry always blows his own horn, and I get sick of hearing about all the amazing things he's done.

🔺Lorraine says that if you want to be successful in the fashion business, you really have to blow your own trumpet.
