鹬蚌相争
The Quarrel of the Snipe and the Clam
从前，有一只鹬鸟和一只蚌。在一个阳光明媚的日子里，蚌在河边的沙地上晒太阳，张开了它的壳。它感觉暖洋洋的，真是舒服极了！
Once upon a time, there was a snipe and a clam. On a sunny day, the clam was sunbathing on the sandy shore of the river, with its shell wide open. It felt so warm and comfortable!
这时候，鹬鸟飞来了，它看到蚌张开的壳，想：“哇，这蚌肉一定很好吃！”于是，它用尖尖的嘴巴去夹蚌的肉。
Just then, the snipe flew over and saw the clam's open shell. It thought, "Wow, that clam meat must be delicious!" So, it used its sharp beak to try and snatch the meat from the clam.
蚌感觉到了危险，马上“啪”地一声关上了壳，把鹬鸟的嘴巴夹住了。鹬鸟怎么也拉不出来，蚌也不肯松口。
The clam sensed danger and immediately snapped its shell shut, trapping the snipe's beak. The snipe couldn't pull free, and the clam wouldn't open up.
就这样，他们互不相让，谁也不肯放弃。后来，有一个渔夫走过来，看到了他们。渔夫想：“哦，这不是给我送饭来了吗？”他走过去，一把抓起了鹬鸟和蚌。
Thus, neither of them would give in, each refusing to back down. Later, a fisherman came by and saw them. He thought, 'Oh, isn't this a meal delivered to me?' He walked over and grabbed both the snipe and the clam.
这个故事告诉我们，不要为了争斗，让第三方获利，同时也告诉我们，如果竞争对手正在和他人进行斗争，恰恰是我们下手的好时机。
This story teaches us not to engage in fights that allow a third party to benefit, and it also tells us that if competitors are engaged in a struggle with others, it might just be the perfect opportunity for us to take action.
