                                                  I see a ship a-sailing, sailing, sailing,
                                                 I see a ship a-sailing, sailing out to sea;
                                                The captain at the railing, railing, railing,
                                             The captain at the railing waves his hand to me.
                                                  I see a ship a-rolling, rolling, rolling,
                                             I see a ship a-rolling, rolling home from the sea;
                                                 I hear its bell a-tolling, tolling, tolling,
                                              I hear its bell a-tolling, coming home to me.

            There was a small river with a narrow bridge over it. The bridge was so narrow that only one person could cross at a time.
            One day, two goats wanted to cross over the bridge from the opposite directions. They met in the middle of the bridge. The
            bridge was too narrow. There was no space for them to pass. They started fighting. When they realised there was no use of
            fighting, they decided to cross the bridge one by one over each other. One goat lay down first and the other goat carefully
            walked over him. So they finally went across each other.
                                                            7. The Owl
